So, window-picker-applet didn't reach Debian in time for Jessie, and
then in wheezy-backports. These applets won't work anymore in Jessie
for us (GNOME 3), so even when/if they land into Debian, it'll be
useless for us. I've therefore closed the corresponding tickets.

And now, we're doomed to maintain our own package until Tails is based
on Jessie (e.g. we're not benefiting from the many bugfixes we've sent
upstream). Volunteers? Alan, U, others?

Sorry about the extra work that has been put into it already :/

Cheers,
