We _almost_ have that already.  It's called the windows panel.  If only 
it had status indication colours ("highlighting") like the tabs, it would 
be just what I need!

I have 200-300 open pages/tabs so I just had to get rid of the tab bar, 
and use the window panel instead.  Pleasing weirdoes like me without 
infuriating the regular users is pretty challenging...
