Yes, TabBox can render thumbnails which makes it possible to use TabBox for 
window strip. The "difficult" part is to control the TabBox from external. I 
have a patch floating around to make TabBox working without holding "Alt" key 
and we need to pass the atoms. I'm thinking there of two atoms:
* _KDE_TABBOX_STICKY: to mark the shell as first item in list
* _KDE_TABBOX_CONTROL_REGION: to sync panel with the TabBox

Both requires small changes in TabBox, so it's probably really too late for 
PA2.

I try to schedule it for this weekend (given that screen locker is in a state 
that I don't want to work on it any more :-P I am free for something new)

Cheers
