I totally agree, applications are (and will always) be putting long titles 
into its window  titles (e.g. long html <title> strings in konqueror, or 
absolute pathes...)

There are several spots in KDE where long texts (or URLs) would be a problem. 
In most cases this is solved using KSqueezedTextLabel, so why can't the window 
list in the Task switcher not use this squeezing, too, to prevent a switcher 
that is way too wide?
