Hi all, this new release of xfwm includes a feature, which adds previews to the Alt-Tab cycling, like for example Windows 7. As far as I know this is an build time option and I thought we could discuss if we would like to enable it in fedora or not. Don't know if you could disable it in the settings, when it's available. I installed it from the copr Xfce 4.11 repo, but I think it's disabled in this build, or?
