1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04

2) apt-cache policy gnome-session-fallback
gnome-session-fallback:
  Installed: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1
  Candidate: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.8.0-1ubuntu11 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages

3) What is expected to happen is when one installs gnome-session-fallback, logs into this session, and clicks Alt+Tab, it switches between windows.

4) What happens instead is it doesn't. This is despite how in System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts the "Switch Applications" is set to Alt+tab.

WORKAROUND: Install packages compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager and in CompizConfig Settings Manager enable Application Switcher.

It is compiz bug if Alt+Tab does not work in compiz session.
