Bug description:
  Good day, thank you for your wonderful work on Unity, I find it very usable. The only thing that bothers me is the window grouping, as described here:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1826736

  quote:
  MY Question is if its possible to disable the "Grouping" part... such as having multiple nautilus windows.
  Primarily thunderbird is the largest annoyance.. if im writing an email on my laptop and accedentally (touchpad 'palming') off the 'compose message' window; by default and second nature, my brain tells my fingers to alt-tab back into it. unfortunately, this DOES NOT WORK! 

  Basically, I am trying to restore Alt+Tab functionality from Unity 2D. I tried number of other switchers, all have their separate issues. For example, Static Application Switcher does not show minimalized windows (or windows hidden by the "show desktop" shortcut), etc.
  Thanks :)
