Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 12.04, the GNOME Classic session based on Compiz does not
provide the Alt-TAB window switching. The 'no effects' session (based on
metacity) however does.
The reason is that the Compiz used does not include the Compiz
'switcher' plugin. It is contained in the compiz-plugins package, which
is not installed.
Should be fixed cleanly: The package gnome-session-fallback should not
provide a session that depends on compiz, without providing compiz and
the compiz-plugins package. And maybe a script that add 'switcher' to
the default enabled plugins (seems to be using the gconf backend, so it
just need to bring an additional gconf file I guess) is needed.
If gnome-session-fallback should not depend on compiz, the Classic
session using compiz may move to a new package, and this one only
contains 'no effect' variant then.
This is actually a variant of bug #971051 which is filed against compiz,
which is wrong I guess, as it is not a problem of compiz itself, but
rather its configuration in the gnome fallback package.
