Thumbnails are not a real option because of technical difficulties and
(un)usefulness.
1. See prev mail
2. Even if we add windows into thumbs (and not only plasma's look) -
compare a thumbnail of kmail to a thumb of akregator (and a lot of
other programs). There is no significant difference (thumbs need to be
rather small). And, the thumbs would be constantly changing which is
*bad*.
3. What when there are more screens?
