The window list labels look a bit lost. Having 2 sizes of icons ...
one could argue it provides distinction ... but I think it's not 
helpful and doesn't look nice.

The show desktop icon to the right might be the right thing. If only 
we knew if 'home users' use it that often. I do not at all. I guess 
to not use workspaces increases the usefulness of this function ;)
