Good morning

Please accept my apologies for not selecting a package where my bug is
because I am not sure. I will apreciate it if you could assign it to the
relevant place.

 have looked through all the 'Alt+Tab' bugs reports and none of them
seem to quite relate to my situation. Bug reports 971051 and 993187 seem
to be the closest. I have a number of user accounts with admin rights.
One I log into Gnome Classic, one into KDE and one into Cinnamon.

Since I did an update two weeks ago my whole PC freezes after I have
pressed Alt+tab a few times (usually on the fourth time). All the open
programs windows become about 80% transparent. I then have to switch my
PC off and then back on again. It started sometime after Firefox was
upgraded to version 21.0. I originally thought that it was Firefox
causing the problem. I have subsequently found that the problem occurs
without Firefox being open. It happens when I have more than one program
window open e.g. Nautilus, Audacious, LibreOffice calc, terminal. I have
compiz installed. I am also experiencing the same issue in my Cinnamon
session. I also noticed that the 'Window List' applet disappeared off
the bottom panel.

I checked 'keyboard settings > shortcuts > navigation' as per one of the
suggestions and Alt+Tab is there. I checked Compiz manager and the
Window Switchers are enabled.

I do not know if this is a factor. My Huawei E220 HDSPA 3G modem does not work with the 12.04 modem manager 
(modemmanager_0.5.2.0-0ubuntu2). So I installed the modem manager from 11.04 
(modemmanager_0.4+git.20110124t203624.00b6cce-2ubuntu1) which worked fine. When I tried a 12.10 live cd I discovered that my 3G modem worked. So I have installed the 12.10 modem manager (modemmanager_0.6.0.0.really-0ubuntu1) in my 12.04.

I have added a file 'Linux_12_04_Issue_files.tar.bz2' containing screen
shots of my issue, my kernel.log file and text files showing my hardware
configuration and the packages installed. I added it to the attachment
field below.

I am unable to log this issue via apport because my pc freezes up.

If I have done something wrong in the way I have logged my issue, please
accept my apologies.  I do not know how else to do this. Any guidance
would be welcome.

Regards
Philip
