Title: GNOME classic session using Compiz does not switch windows on Alt+TAB Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
