Title:
Show window list when right clicking an icon in launcher - enables
quick window switching

Bug description:
Hello,
I have come to like Unity but sometimes I need to switch between
windows of an application, or to switch to a particular window of an
application. Currently to do that I need to go either through the
spread (expose-like effect which shows all open windows for an
application) or through alt-tab which works fine, but it would be
great to be able to switch between windows more rapidly.
To demonstrate, I wrote a patch which adds a list of currently open
windows for an application to the menu which appears when an
application icon in the menu is right-clicked.
Patch attached - the patch is against Unity in 12.04 LTS.
I have also made a video to show this in action:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Accepted implementation:
- The max width should be 300px
- The window title should be ellipsized at the end
- This entry should only be displayed if there are 2 or more windows. If the
application only has 1 or 0 windows open nothing should be displayed.
The format of the option should be:
====================
[application specific quicklist options area]
--------------
[application name]
--------------
Windows:
[window title 1]
[window title 2]
[window title 3]
--------------
