and well, i miss my SUPER+W !!!
If Scale aka Expose becomes so central, i would strongly recommend to
associate the scale addon features:
* secondary click to zoom in
* middle click to close
especially the unread messages from the Messaging Menu shouldn't get
acknowledged, before i haven't seen them at full scale.
Seeing the window, scaled down on a Netbook 10" display in Exposé, surely
doesn't validate removing a message indicator from the Messaging Menu as
"seen".
