Same here.  I have also noticed the following issues:

1) In multiwindow mode, all X programs are considered as one wrt taskbar 
buttons.  Nothing really new there, but it's more noticeable now that 
the default is "Always combine, hide labels".  When combined, the icon 
shown is that of the first program launched, which is obviously 
inaccurate if several different X programs are running.

If a windowed X server is launched, it shows as one window with the X 
icon (as expected), which will be grouped together with X programs 
running multiwindow on a different DISPLAY.  Pinning that X icon to the 
taskbar has the same effect.

It would be preferable to force ungrouping (or grouping by program in 
multiwindow, if possible), but if that's not possible, the X icon should 
represent the group no matter which program launched first.

2) It would be nice to port the tray icon menu to the new Jump List.

3) With Aero in multiwindow, fbpanel (in Ports) has a large border 
around the panel.  IIRC there was a slight border in XP, but it's much 
larger and more noticeable with Aero.

4) In multiwindow, if two programs overlap, then Aero Peek will show the 
correct shape for each window but the contents of one window 
superimposed on the other in their stacking order.

Anyone else testing 7RC1?
