I already know this option, but it has many issues :
1- we have to enable scale-addons from CCSM , not all people are aware
of that.
2- it is very buggy. my unity crashed because of it.
3- It is far from intuitif. new users could not know that
you can middle clic on it for closing the instance.
With a close button on top of each instance from the overview anyone can
figure out that we can just close what we want from here, so it is more
user friendly.
