Comment 3 for bug 917713

I understand, that my idea would break some design.
What I say is that this design is bogus !
Even on a 20 inch screen one cannot clearly see windows' contents in the
scale mode. Thus one must zoom in each window in turn, until he runs
into the right one. Now imagine their relative order changes all the time !
Sometimes I wonder if people who designed it intended to use it themselves.

By the way, that's what was so convenient in the old school Gnome 2 -
each icon in the bottom panel had its constant place, so that you could
remember that 'this icon' is 'document X' and 'that icon' is 'document
Y', now they are rotating like some dancers.

Please deliver this idea to the developers.
