Show orphan windows in Alt-Tab list

[autarkper]

This set of commits partly addresses #761 by making orphan windows show up in the Alt-Tab list. Since orphan windows do not have an "app", I use a standard icon, "application-default-icon".

The icon at "Convert Images" shown in the screenshot, is the one used when a program has no icon. Example: Google Earth

The icon you want is either "application-default-icon" or "gnome-settings-default-applications"

[autarkper]

Thanks!
application-default-icon: http://imagebin.org/217767
gnome-settings-default-applications: http://imagebin.org/217768

I think I'll go for application-default-icon.

How do I get a "real" window from a meta window?

I'm looking at how to centralize the window-listing functionality into one function that could be called by Alt-Tab, Expo, Scale, Window List, and such like, but I've run into a snag: display.get_tab_list returns a list of MetaWindow, while Scale expects "real" windows (actors), and I can't find an obvious way to get the real window of a MetaWindow.

There is this function in muffin/src/meta, but it seems I can't call it, and I don't think I want an "xwindow" anyway:
Window meta_window_get_xwindow (MetaWindow *window);

It seems I'm looking for this function:
MetaWindowActor* meta_window_get_window_actor (MetaWindow *window);

Does anybody know?

Can't you use metaWindow.actor ?

[autarkper]

That would have been great, but I think it's an encapsulated type that doesn't have attributes. metaWindow.actor is undefined.
