Bug Description

The Gnome Window List allows dragging and dropping windows to reorder them in the list - this would be a nice feature for window-picker-applet.

I really like this idea. As it is I am constantly having to close and reopen Firefox/Thunderbird to keep the icons in the order I'm used to because every time I click a link in Thunderbird or Pidgin it moves Firefox to the far right of my open windows! Any idea when this will be done? Maybe even an unofficial patch I can test to get this done sooner? I only code PHP but I'm happy to play lab rat on this one if anyone has a potential fix to try.

I have ported window-picker-applet to gtk+3 and added window reordering. The code is currently in my repository on github:

Window reordering is currently in the dragdrop branch it has some minor issues but so far its quite stable and can be used:
https://github.com/lanoxx/window-picker-applet/tree/dragdrop

A more stable version without window reordering is also in the master branch

I have tested this on oneiric and precise, so if anyone is still interested in this just have a look at the repository
