(Get the code!)
This trick works! Thanks! I'm wondering... we already have the code in
compiz for showing all windows, so all Unity needs is to call this plugin's
code and somehow filter it to only show only the windows for the
application being hovered, is that right? Seems easy enough. I never worked
with patches, packages and stuff, but if I'm the only person willing to do
it, I can try.
