Description Gordon Messmer 2011-06-01 00:18:13 UTC 
Version: mutter-3.0.2.1-1.fc15.x86_64

apps/metacity/general/focus_mode is set to "sloppy".  Mutter appears to inherit this value, but it often isn't possible to change the window focus using Alt+Tab.  When a window is focused, Alt+Tab should bring a different window into focus.  If the intended window is not under the cursor when Alt is released, the previously focussed window retains focus.  This is contrary to common sloppy focus behavior.  The window selected by Alt+Tab (or Alt+`) should get focus.
