Bug Description

When multiple instance of the same program and/or multiple windows of one program are opened, the icon in the starter offers a list of the instances and windows which allows to switch between them when the user right clicks on the icon. When more instances are opened than the maximum of entries in this list, the list just expands off the screen instead of offering scrollbars. This is a common issue when using `auto-apt` without privileges which opens a separate window for each invocation of `apt-get install` (running `auto-apt run ./configure` for gcc 4.6.4 easily makes `auto-apt` open > 50 terminals).
