yeah and there is still potential to improve. E.g. the Model get's recreated 
whenever a window is removed (used to be the safest way for the effects).

I added a check to not render the thumbnails if they would overlap the TabBox. 
It looked rather bad in the normal TabBox. Here it makes sense and I could 
just add a property clip to control this.

If the atoms are set on the desktop (sticky) and on the panel (sync) I can 
take care of the KWin parts. It needs adjustments in the Client class and 
TabBox. Not trivial but also not complex.
