Expose, LaunchBar, Butler on Linux?

There are a few apps I have become very accustomed to using in OS X that
I would like to have in Linux.
Exposé gives you instant access to any open window with a single
keystroke. Display all open windows as thumbnails, view windows of the
current application, or hide all windows to quickly locate a file on
your desktop.
LaunchBar lets you hit a system wide hot key and then just start typing
the name of any app, document, url, song, etc. and it will bring up a
list of matching items and let you open the one you want.
Butler has similar functionality as LaunchBar, but I use it primarily
for its multiple pasteboards. I can cut or copy many items before I
decide to paste any of them. Then I just hit a system wide hotkey and
all of my pasteboards show in a pop-up menu for me to select the one I want.
Does Linux have any apps with similar functionality or are any currently
in development?
Thanks,
Brett
