[Fedora-legal-list] avant-window-navigitor patents?

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

Some folks were telling me that they thought that our
avant-window-navigator package might be infringing on: 

US patent 7434177

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=7,434,177
http://www.wikipatents.com/US-Patent-7434177/user-interface-for-providing-consolidation-and-access

Any thoughts on this? I don't see mention of it in the review for the
package: 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238863

Does the patent only deal with the "Zoom" functionality? 
Or is there just anything that lists a bunch of icons?
