Great point! Since DE's are so customizeable, window lists could even be 
on the right or left.

I'd love to see a more attractive implementation of window menus. This 
is neat already. Most people just have to learn how to use it. I'm very 
used to activating the window menu by clicking Alt+Space then clicking 
the mnemonic key for the action (minimize, maximize, close, move, 
resize, etc).
