Bug description:
  Hi,

  As a quicklist has a patch to land in Unity (see lp:1107866 ), a
  feature request is having a quick way to close the windows from the
  quicklist.

  Before having the quicklist patch, here is how we close a specific
  window of an application:

  * keyboard: [alt]+[tab] or ([super]+number x2 then select with arrow
  the windows) then [alt]+[f4] or [shift]+[esc] depending the apps or
  [alt] then [C],[L],[O],[S],[E], [enter] (the HUD way)

  * mouse/touch: [click] or [tap] on the apps icon x2, mouseover the one
  to close, then use the ribbon to close it (or get focus then clic on
  top-left close button

  The problem, on low spec machines like netbooks or others low specs/no
  drivers compatible, is the mouse/touch way requiere a call of visual
  effect (compiz).

  Proposed solution :

  * mouse/touch: [right clic]/[2-fingers tap] to call the quicklist on
  the icon apps from the launcher (as it is from the actual patch), then
  use a [X] shortcut into the quicklist. This should solve the problem
  that a call to compiz (and its latence effect due to lack of decent
  hardware/driver) is required to close a specific windows with
  mouse/touch only.

  Any suggestion(s) from the design/ergonomy team is welcome (for
  example: "should it have reduce and/or maxime button too?")

  In the below attached pic, you can see the main idea:

  => "Example of what it could looks like (button put on left to be sure text does not put it too far)"
