Description Gustavo Noronha (kov) 2009-08-15 22:36:33 UTC 
If you have a window requiring attention in another virtual desktop, and try a quick alt-tab to alternate to another window, you will only get the current window, not the window you intended.

Apparently mutter tries to skip the current window by skipping the first window in the list, which in this case is the window requiring attention. This seems to have been fixed in metacity some time ago:

Patch for Mutter

Subject of the commit looks truncated, otherwise good to commit.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591006 is related (mentioned in the original mutter bug) but separate - the handling of demands-attention windows on other windows in the alt-tab popup is not coherent, since they show up, but you can't switch to them.

committed as 7a6968cb46033b39023788d02c2c6ea8e8fd7e27 (the subject line is truncated in the original metacity commit).
Comment 5 Owen Taylor 2009-08-26 17:02:01 UTC 
Subject was truncated in the original metacity commit because it was translated from CVS and the subject was auto-extracted.
Comment 6 Owen Taylor 2009-08-26 17:02:12 UTC 
(from svn, I mean)

Corrected patch

Now do resize background's actor in notify::screen-width.
For use of workspace.list_windows need to correct it annotation.
