Please display somehow (a *faint* red border?) the trail of windows that 
you'll go to with left or right.  It annoys me in word processors that I 
can't see where up or down is going to take me to.  Modal badness... 
(Although with xmonad, I don't put more than a few windows on a 
workspace and usually use full-screen, so it doesn't actually make much 
of a difference to me)

more brainstorming would be appreciated
