Thanks for the patch -- didn't have time to look at them since I was at
GUADEC and I just came back.

Help is certainly welcome, so feel free to just ping me if you need
mentoring. All in all, though, libwnck is in a relatively good state.
There are sure things that needs fixing or changes I'd like to see, but
it's working quite well.

FWIW, long-term plans are:

 + reworking the workspace-related API so that it transparently works
   with viewport and not just virtual desktops. (this will break the
   API/ABI)
 + hopefully add a good-enough vertical mode for the window list
 + review the API/ABI to make sure we're happy with it

There are also various tiny features tracked in bugzilla that can be of
interest.
