[WISHLIST] Windows in global expose (Super+W) should have title underneath

[Brendan Donegan]

I like to use the global expose view (Super+W) to move around windows, but find it difficult to select the window I really want, particularly when there are a number of similar windows (usually terminals). Displaying the title of the window underneath it would go a long way to improving this, as at the very least I could see the path the terminal was on. Note that when only a few windows are open it is possible to do this just by viewing the title bar directly on the window, but quickly becomes difficult when there are more than 6 or 7 windows open (text is too small to read, even with my glasses :) )

While it could be much improved you can gain some of this already by enabling the Scale Addons and Text plugins
(be aware that doing so in ccsm MAY unset all plugins, so if inclined to try that way note what is currently enabled

Thanks for the tip, i'll probably leave those settings enabled for now (even though they're screwing up my top panel), as it's slightly better than having no text at all - but unless I'm mistaken the text only appears when hovering over the window. This really doesn't meet the requirements for me. Don't know if anyone else agrees...

Highly related to bug #757814, though not a duplicate.
