Well, you can hide parts of split views... same problem :-). However I 
was thinking there should be indication in title bar that there are 
other windows.

Actually if deco puts other window tabs in title bar, this is maybe 
possible. Works for me, anyway. (But you could make same argument that 
maximized FAI should be special case of TAI... Hmm... Actually if we did 
this for root, and we add can have plasma widgets on title bars, we 
don't need a panel any more ;-).)
