Is this a dup of bug 1169045?  Do you have compiz-plugins installed?

Title:
  Alt+Tab stopped working after upgrade to 12.10

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I recently upgraded from PP to QQ which broke the ability to switch
  between running applications by pressing Alt+Tab.

  The affected host is a ThinkPad X61s. I don't know if this is of any
  relevance but I think Unity/Compiz is running on/in LLVM.

  Until now I tried several countermeasures in any combination
  imaginable to fix this:

  1. bound, unbound and rebound the Settings/Keyboard/Shortcuts/Navigation/Switch applications key over and over again
  2. massive amount of reboots
  3. activated, deactivated, reactivated switchers and set, unset, reset plugins and their key bindings - even other ones as Alt+Tab - in ccsm under
    3.1 Unity Plugin
    3.2 Window Mgmt - Application switcher and Static application switcher
  4. deactivated Alt as a hotkey for the HUD
  5. even switching keyboard layouts

  It may be worth mentioning that the Alt keys themselves are working as
  shown by xev. I can access the application menu, too. What makes me
  wonder is the fact that I can get the HUD by tapping Alt_R but not by
  pressing Alt_L (so I tried removing the HUD key binding which as
  stated didn't help). App switching itself is not possible using either
  Alt key.

  This behaviour is the same using the internal keyboard as well as a
  bluetooth one.
