Currently the window previews are not clickable when this "filter" is
enabled. They should be!

Here are two suggestions :)

1) When hovering an app in the app well, highlight the corresponding windows
2) Let this feature auto-enable when the mouse sits for more than a couple
of seconds on the same app's icon in the app well

(1) is easy to discover, so the user will probably sit on the app icon when
looking for the window he can't find. If he can't find that window quickly,
(2) is automatically enabled.

(I also think that right-clicking on an app's icon should show recent
documents related to it, in a way similar to Docky2+Zeitgeist. But this is
already discussed somewhere in this ml)

@Florian: replying to the ml was my intention, that's a mistake I always
make with gmail, sorry!!
