as long as a right-click would then still zoom into that object, and a
middle-click would then still close that window, ok.
otherwise what i'm seeing as a follow-up problem, is that you would have to
click to focus, then click again to zoom in or to close.

the best solution of course would be to make Compiz Scale the new ALT-TAB.
We should start thinking about making the desktop more straightforward, and
showing window previews would be a step in that direction.
