KDE protocol seems to be designed for window managers, not window
switchers. My protocol does allow to display thumbnails, but everything
is on the compositor side, the client just ask it to display them at a
specific position of its own surface.

I believe KDE’s protocol is too complex for simple compositors to use it 
easily.
