OK, you want me to file the bug, or do you want to do it?
I won't, as I found that to be kind of nice for non-document windows.
Perhaps even fit to be a new UI guideline... :)
Why not help the user associate windows with their application? Uli
said that "you already have your app's name in the menu bar and its
icon in the dock to tell the user which app the window belongs to",
but neither of these two things can help a user find out what app a
window belongs to unless it's the key window, or if you bring the app
forward by clicking in the window.
Here's one reason--you can drag the proxy icon to create Shark aliases
on the desktop. That's certainly not a feature I wanted :) If they want
app badging in title bars, they need to use a more supported technique
so goofy things like that don't happen.
