Windicators extend the idea of application indicators to individual windows. They are mini menus that sit at the trailine end of a window’s title bar.

Mark’s post: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/333

This spec needs to:

 - show 5 application windows, using windicators
   - evolution (& thunderbird for bonus points)
   - firefox (&chromium for bonus points)
   - gimp
   - f-spot
   - mumble
   - others?

 - define the kinds of indicator menu titles
   - icons
   - numbers+icons? (900 mails)
   - letters (keyboard style?)

 - define windicator ordering
   - apps can add, update, remove windicators
   - apps specify order explicitly (not just order added)
   - mapping into panel when maximised

 - scope and define APIs
   - relationship and similarities to AppIndicators
   - dbus-menu

 - define visuals
   - theme names?
   - symbolic icons?
