You might find the code in libtaskmanager (http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase/kicker/taskmanager/) helpful in getting the X damage stuff going for thumbnailing.

The ever-extensible deskbar-applet does do window completion, thanks to Travis Hartwell: http://www.travishartwell.net/blog/2006/04/14_1515

This looks pretty cool. But from reading the page it sounds slightly awkward right now to use the typing completion while holding down Super.

There is the issue right now that we take over the Windows key in bigboard to focus deskbar-applet, though what I think would work well is if deskbar-applet had completion on windows.

Have you considered taking over Alt-Tab as is now? I wonder if you could usefully combine the two.

Make that thing work and autoupdate the contents and you’re my hero.

I’ll also integrate it into wnck and bug vuntz long enough until he applies it.

Better name you could not invite (If somebody do not know SS was a elite group in nazi germany. It has a special section for concentration camps – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS). Better change the name as quick as possible because in some countries it would have very negative connotations and/or is banned.
