Try

  WindowList (CurrentPage)

Yes:

  WindowList (my_window_name)

Yes. The MenuStyle command controls the look of the window list.
The WindowList menu uses the menustyle 'WindowList'. This can be
changed between two invocations.

e.g.

  AddToFunc WindowListXterms
  + MenuStyle WindowList <whatever styles you like>
  + WindowList (xterm, currentpage)

  AddToFunc WindowListEmacs
  + MenuStyle WindowList <styles>
  + WindowList (emacs)

Start the WindowList by calling the appropriate function.

All this only works with the 2.3.x beta releases, though.
