Description (last modified by )
An option (or second widget view) for displaying the list of running programs in a vertical dropdown (like the WarpCenter's display) would be welcome.
This vertical listing should allow for a context menu on each entry (tough one, I know) to access the usual lswitcher options. When collapsed, the lswitcher icon should not consume more than one button width on the XCenter.

Current lSwitcher widget, consuming HUGE amount of horizontal space, just like the default taskbar widget (but more functional)

WarpCenter? running programs button, which takes up the width of a single icon on the bar, and displays vertically.

Vertical display in widget means that the widget itself takes up the width of a single button (normal-sized button, not the XButton). Clicking on that, drops the list of running programs below (or pops up from the bottom, if the XCenter is on the bottom). Where the WarpCenter falls short is that right-clicking on a running task is the same as left-clicking (no context menus), and this is a little lacking for most of us.
Now, display WarpCenter-style as an option, and I might give up my auto-hiding taskbar. I auto hide it specifically because I can't stand giving up that much screen real estate to a list of running tasks.

This could be done with the current grouping code. Just need to skip the module name filtering and make sure the desktop icon (and optionally text) is what the button displays.

Problem is the menu doesn't wrap in the group code. Limit was 32 on my machine.

Now, for this, the lSwitcher widget submenu should be listed on the desktop icon's context menu, as there's no other way to reach it. See ticket:47#comment:4.
Not sure what you are asking for. If you select icons only and group items on the taskbar settings page you get exactly what I think you are describing.
