The problem I want to fix is that the launcher handles multiple windows of the same program extremely poorly.

Open 2 terminal windows, then open a window on top of both of them, so both windows are hidden (eg a typical multi-tasking environment), try opening 1 of the windows back up through the launcher, and not a random window either, the actual terminal window you want first time, it makes windows xp multi-tasking look good.

It is a little difficult to know what the solution would be when you 
expressly don't want to define what problem you want to fix.

I don't really understand the problem at all. Seems nice to me, though 
it would be nice if you could tear an app out of a group, but that's a 
different issue.
