Ubuntu – Is there a way to add a window list on the panel in Unity

11.04indicatorunity

Is there a way in Natty with the Unity shell to add a Window List (or, even better, something like Talika) to the top bar? Or, failing that, some sort of appindicator for open windows?

Ultimately, I'd like to replace the current global menu with a separate window list and a global menu that only shows the menu and never the window title, which I find distracting and duplicative. That doesn't seem to be an option at this stage so I'm setting my sights on just adding a window list that allows me to see what I have open without any mouse or keyboard actions.

Here's a simple script using wmctrl and a tool I made to create appindicators:

it requires wmctrl (apt-get it) and this tool => https://sites.google.com/site/redaea/cappind-py/
