Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

There is an icon that shows like 4 desktops and two windows on one of them. When clicked it shows the opened windows, if any.

This icon has no tooltip as the rest do. For example, when the mouse is over the firefox icon the tooltip says "Firefox Web Browser".

A tooltip should be added to this icon for consistency. And in addition to that, the first time I saw it I didn't get what was its function so a tooltip might be required for clarity too.
