Skippy-XD Alternatives
Skippy-XD is described as 'full-screen task-switcher for X11. You know that thing Mac OS X, Compiz and KWin do where you press a hotkey and suddenly you see miniature versions of all your windows at once? Skippy-XD does just that' and is a Shell Extension in the os & utilities category. There are four alternatives to Skippy-XD for Linux, BSD and Mac. The best Skippy-XD alternative is Mission Control. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try KWin or SuperSwitcher.
