Bug Description

Right now, when launching two instances of an application we will get two dots next to the application icon.

My suggestion is enabling an option for displaying an icon for each window of an application, with the window title as description when hovering them.

It may lead to too many icons being displayed, but that can be addressed showing just those applications in the current workspace, or even re-group them it's now. Same application window icons could have slightly less margin between them.

Please, see attachment (sorry for my bad gimp/photoshop skills).

Grouped app icons could also overlap a little, and expand when hovered.
