Title:
  Alt+tab window switcher doesn't show obscured windows

Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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).
