Right.  I already use the verynice daemon to assign a low (aka,
numerically high) priority to intensive apps for which I don't wait for.
For example, whenever make or gcc run, that's won't make the system
unresponsive.

Hi Kurt,

 Congratulations, Gnome Shell is wonderful and it's a great job. It's
 very well designed but I think it needs a window list. I did an
 extension in case anyone needs it or wants to try it.

 http://www.o2net.cl/gnome/windowlist.html

Tried it and like it. :-)

Of course, it's totally not compliant with the GNOME3 design goals, but
it helps me for two reasons:

  - if the system is under heavy load, I really don't enjoy switching to
the overview

  - it's faster than the alt-tab app switcher if you have lots of
windows of one app (e.g., terminal) and want to switch to a specific
one

You want notification if the system is behaving out of spec really.  For
instnace, you should never have an app take more than 100%.  Detecting a
malfunctioning app is really the right way to go.  It would be cool if the
scheduler could notice these things and generate an alert. (it's arguable if
that's the best place.. but there you go)

A system under heavy load is out of spec?

I frequently have quite expensive tasks: compiling, graph querying,
graph transformations, etc.  Sure, that's not the usual web-browsing and
letter-writing kind of stuff, but that shouldn't exclude me from using
GNOME3.  (Well, not that it would do. :-))

And nothing would be more inconvenient than having notifications for
cpu-intensive tasks.  Here, the relation between intendedly
cpu-intensive task and freaked out process is something like 1000 to 1.
