actually, having used the plugin someone kindly supplied that gives
thumbnail+label on my laptop but the stock setup on my desktop for the
last month or so (yay quasi-empirical data!), I kinda prefer the stock
(icon + label) setup. I think the reason is that the previews render so
small in the Shell switcher that they're hard to see; I like the
thumbnail setup in Compiz but I think it renders the thumbnails a lot
bigger...
