Ok, I have a working implementation for bug #147994, I have attached the patch. I have reused the files xstuff.c and xstuff.h from gnome-panel to create the "zooming boxes" animation. It works pretty nicely, I think. Please let me know what you think. (I guess we should check the global "animation" variable to disable this kind of stuff if the user doesn't want it...)
