That's quite a neat idea about the windows titles being a drop-down button. But what exactly is the functions for this button are you suggesting? Personally, I think that the button should display titles of other windows of the same program - and an option to open a new window.
On the other hand, I don't like buttons for all the programs being displayed on the panel.
