** Description changed:

- Defining a "Skip pager" rule in "Window Rules" plugin does not reflect
- in the Ubuntu Unity Plugin Switcher, as the window still appears in the
- switcher.
+ Defining a "Skip taskbar" or "Skip pager" rule in "Window Rules" plugin
+ does not reflect in the Ubuntu Unity Plugin Switcher, as the window
+ still appears in the switcher.
  
  This integration is expected, as other plugins respect this rule. Among other are:
- - Scale;
- - Application Switcher;
- - Static Application Switcher.
+ - Scale - with "Skip pager" rule ;
+ - Application Switcher - with "Skip taskbar" rule;
+ - Static Application Switcher - with "Skip taskbar" rule.
  
  How to reproduce:
  1. Enable "Window Rules" plugin
- 2. Write: "class=Firefox" in the "Skip pager option"
+ 2. Write: "class=Firefox" in the "Skip taskbar" rule
  3. Open Firefox browser
  4. Press "Alt+Tab" to see that Firefox still appears in Switcher
  5. Try "Scale" plugin or any other of the mentioned above to see that Firefox window is ignored
  
  Although this might not be relevant for firefox (the example above), it
  might be for other use cases, such as embedded windows, "Hangouts" app
  in google chrome, etc..
