Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
If you look in the screenshots, I have two maximised windows open. The panel only shows the details of one of them (the focused window).
It would be great if the Unity panel would show me the Application name, window title, global menu, and the close button/window controls for the second window. This would save everyone a few clicks when working with two monitors.
For maximised windows this seems to be a no brainer. For unmaximised unfocused windows on the other monitor then I imagine some more care would need to be taken in the implementation.

What sort of design is required for this behavior to be implemented? Seems like a straightforward change to me... and definitely a no-brainer.
