The menu items appear always in the same order. Therefore selecting the second item (0-based list) appears to be a bit arbitrary, as it is sometimes the currently focused window, the next window or some other window.

The menu items should definitely change order according to the window stack, because simpleswitcher reads _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING. This property is correctly maintained by various window managers, but I've never tested with xmonad. When the menu order does successfully update, initially selecting the second item makes for easy toggling between the top two windows. My assumption is that one would rarely want to activate the window already on top of the stack. How about making the initial item selection a command line option? |

Not sure about this, maybe the window ordering is wrong because my wm (xmonad) sets them wrong?
If I open a couple of windows, each on a separate workspace, the window/workspace order seems always to be the same, regardless which one was focused last.
Focusing the 2nd element of this list creates additional confusion.
