Public bug reported:

Trying to use Compiz ring switcher on my Toshiba laptop... I have it set
to the default Super+Tab keys.  This did not work, after restarting it
still does not work.  I tried the reverse switching using
Super+Shift+Tab this did not work, so I tried again and found it did if
I pushed Shift+Super+Tab (in that order).

I then found out that if I pushed Shift then Super, release Shift and
then push Tab.  This works... but is a bit silly.  Running xev I have
the following output:

In the Super+Tab configuration:

FocusOut event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

It's very odd, any ideas?  I have default keyboard settings and a Generic 105-key keyboard set.
