This issue should be fixed when development of "The Spread" is complete. See http://design.canonical.com/2012/03/task-switching-in-ubuntu-and-a -introduction-to-the-spread/ and http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit /unity-task-switching/

For example, when the user presses Super+W and the "shrunk" windows appear, users should be able to middle-click a shrunk-window to close it. The shrunk-windows could also have an "X" in the corner so users can click the "X" to close the window. Often, I end up having several windows open that I no longer need open. I might have 4 Firefox windows, 5 G-Edit windows, 3 Libreoffice Impress windows, etc. I'd like to be able to enter Spread Mode and selectively eliminate the windows I no longer need open.
