Scale / Expose plugin should keep relative window sizing

[positivek]

The Scale plugin (the one like "Expose" on Mac) should retain the relative window sizes when it arranges and shows them all to the user. Presently, it does not; presently, when I initiate compiz scale, the windows are each scaled by a different factor during their arrangement.

When window switching, I think I use the window size (especially when choosing among several similar windows) to find it quickly. When they are all scaled at different factors, it makes it harder to tell them apart.

Use case: I use one terminal window to find and run a program (not backgrounded). I make this small so I can see latest output but I don't need to interact with it. Another terminal is used for navigating directories and using a version control system and building code. When I use "scale", both of these windows shows up roughly equally sized and find it hard to tell them apart (since they both are much smaller in "scale" and the text all looks like the same terminal output).

Wishlist: Use an algorithm perhaps closer to the "Mac" one that keeps the relative sizes of windows about the same (if not exactly).

(A bonus would be an algorithm that also somehow maintains their approximate relative positions on the screen/desktop/workspace.)
