I can't test the Shell for the moment, because my GNOME 2.x got messed 
up with a black(kind of black hole) desktop with an error warning from 
GNOME power manager.

However, if for some technical reason, the Alt-tab's thumbnail preview 
can't be scaled to a degree where we will no longer use a magnifying 
glass, then it is fine for the moment. Alt-tab + icons must be 
user-friendly enough for developers and system admins, while the rest of 
the world will not find it helpful to switch between instances of an 
app. Hoping for an extension or patch for this after the general release...

Kind regards,
Allan
