Public bug reported:

Environment: "Ubuntu classic", no desktop effects

1) Maximize a Firefox window
2) Open one other application, say Calculator
3) alt+tab back to Firefox.  Calculator is now hidden, because Firefox is in front of it.
4) Press and hold alt+tab.

The window switcher will show that you are about to switch back to
Calculator.  It will also draw a nice outline around the Calculator
window.  However, the outline is all you can see of the window.  The
actual calculator is still hidden behind the Firefox window.

Expected behaviour: the calculator should be raised temporarily, so you
can see what you're about to switch to.  ("Temporarily", because if you
release and re-press tab, switching to a different window, then the
Calculator window should drop back again).
