Description Andy 2011-11-28 04:50:54 UTC 
It would be best when using the quick switch program feature (ALT+TAB) and then when cycling within that program group (eg: terminal) when doing ALT+` that each program I cycle within that group will come into focus so that it can be seen easily which one will be put into focus. 

The problem is especially with Terminal where they look so similar in the current gnome 3.2 interface I can't tell the difference, but if it was on the same page and came into focus then I'd have a better idea what I'm cycling inbetween.
