Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm referring to compiz feature represented by
http://www.tectonic.co.za/wordpress/wp-
content/uploads/2008/01/shiftkey.png

I have used it for about one week, but I still get confused when using
it.

More precisely, when I'm rotating among the windows (with alt-tab) I lack some information that is essential in order to a friendly user experience:
- I should be said how many open windows I have on my workspace. It could be that I have 2 windows, but during windows rotation I haven't any way to realize it; in the case of the 2 windows, I'm deceived by the fact that I actually see 3 reduced windows on the screen.
-  I should be warned if, performing the rotation, I'm arriving on the window I started from

I think this two issues should be resolved to give the user friendlyness
