Wrong file

Hi,
step to reproduce:
- open 2 windows of the same application (app 1)
- open a different application (app 2)
- the focus is on app 2 and do alt+tab
- both windows of app 1 are on top of app 2

This behavior is even more annoying with multiple monitors.

The patch prevents gnome-shell to bring all windows on top by default by selecting the previous application window. I had to change the thumbnail popup time to 0 to make it consistent with the first alt+tab which brings the thumbnail instantaneously.

Select the first window of the application

This patch introduce an inconsistent behavior because for the first alt+tab the first window of an app is selected, but not for the following alt+tab. The alternative is to always select the first window of an app when possible.

Seems like a dupe of bug 697480 ?
