Not quite the same subject, but I love my fvwm2's FvwmWinList, which, on my new 19" monitor, for which I've reserved a 1.3" wide by 7.0" tall chunk of screen on the right edge above the pager and below the xload+ xosview+time(UTC)date+xclock. Room for about 35 buttons with the left end of the window's title (or iconname?). You can keep selected windows off the list if you want and control their "cycling" behavior. I have up and down cycling keys (^Ins,^Del) and keys for favorite apps and desktops/pages. Navigation is helped (compared to menus) by the fact that you can start you "homing"/button-selection process while you're reaching for the mouse. I only wish that buttons are numbered like fvwm's window menu (M3) entries so I could select them from the keyboard. Mike's key-only scheme is nice, except that it takes a significant amount of time to find the proper menu entry AFTER quickly popping up the menu. (Probably still faster than 1-click mousing, tho.)
