that would be even more easy to trigger accidentally and raise the possibil=
ity of this being found not on purpose. imagine what someone who accidental=
ly middle clicks and triggers this behaviour is going to think? most people=
won't connect "I just middle clicked on the representation of a window" wi=
th the present windows effect being triggered, and if they do it will likel=
y come across as slightly odd. middle clicking doesn't have a "bring forwar=
d and show" semantic anywhere else afaik, ergo the unexpectedness.
so, no. :)
(tangentially, the same reason i don't like this feature is the same reason=
i veto'd the concept of scroll wheel over the battery plasmoid adjusting b=
acklight brightness.)
