wn uses libwnck to keep a track of open windows, and behaves exactly like a normal window-list :
* Clicking an icon switches to that window, clicking again will minimise the window
* Right-clicking will bring up a menu extactly like that of what you see on the window-list, allowing you to max, min, close, resize etc the window.
* Dragging something on top of an icon will activate that window.
* Visually (and quite attractively) responds to ‘needs attention’ & ‘urgent’ events
* Can show windows from the entire viewport, or just the visible viewport.
