Summary changed:

- To: WinSwitch Snow Leopard compatibility

Yes, in principle. The reason it was never updated for Leopard was that the third-party tool it relies on wasn't updated for Leopard (see ticket #599). Looks like there is some activity on that front though, so hopefully when a Snow Leopard-ready version of MenuCracker finally makes it out I'll be able to update WinSwitch.

Hello,
if you're just using WinSwitch to have a shortcut for Fast User Switching, there is a workaround now: http://muasch.ch/article/show/winswitch-replacement-for-snow-leopard

Closed ticket #1454 (private support ticket) as a duplicate of this one.

I'm marking all WinSwitch issues closed seeing as I personally no longer use it, and in fact haven't for around 4 years now.
WinSwitch addressed a real problem with the initial implementation of Fast User Switching in Panther (released October 2003), namely, the excessive screen real estate that it chewed up. Apple fixed that problem in Tiger, if I recall correctly, which came out in April 2005 (or if I'm wrong about it being Tiger, then it was definitely fixed by the time Leopard came out, in October 2007).
With this change, most of the justification for WinSwitch's existence went away, at least for me. So that's why I'm going to close all these tickets: I can't really support something that I don't use myself.
But it's open source, so if any one wants to tackle any of these issues and submit patches, I'll be happy to accept them.
