           Summary: Alt-Tab style task switching with the mouse wheel and
                    title bar
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: aculimic hotmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.3 
OS:          Linux

Allow (optionally of course) task switching by scrolling over the active window's \
Title Bar.  The mouse's position over the Title Bar would be the equivalent of ALT \
and each wheel increment would equal pressing TAB.  When you remove the mouse from \
the Title Bar it would have the same effect as releasing the ALT button.

The main problem I see, aside from possibly breaking some HIG rule, is that sometimes \
the Title Bar is in an area that would be covered by the task switching box [TSB].  \
And sometimes the cursor is in a place where it could be covered by the TSB without \
actually leaving the Title Bar area. 

In these instances, I believe the TSB should appear as close as possible to it's \
normal position, without occupying on the same horizontal plane as the active title \
bar.
