Hi all,

I attach here a usability patch for the windowlist shown from kicker.

What I always was disappointed with, was that the window-titles were cut, and 
if I have some windows opened (e.g. Xterms, konqueror, etc.) which have a 
very similar starting part (e.g. the path) in the title, the text which was 
shown in the windowlist was useless to be able to select the correct window.

As the taskbar already can group windows, and when clicking on such a group I 
get a popup with also the full window titles, I think there is no reason to 
cut the text in the windowlist.

Therefore the attached patch (against 3.2 Head) solves this usability problem.

You can have a look at

to see how this looks like.

If you have no objections, please commit the patch, as I have no CVS rights.
Thanks,
