Regarding DockbarX, it does behave differently in than the default in that: 1. It always groups by application icon 2. It displays the application windows on hover, rather than on click This makes it incredibly easy to use, any time you need to access a window, say a Firefox window. You immediately move to the Firefox icon and select the correct window with a single click. I've been trying to come up with a better window switcher but I can't think of anything. Luke. P.S. I did try creating a DockbarX style window switcher with indicator applet style menus (rather than the slightly inconsistent Cairo based DockbarX ones) but I had no luck getting the menus to show and hide correctly on mouseover/exit - I think that would have been pretty cool :)
