Description:	Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch)
Release:	13.10

unity:

This bug is a regression. What is happening?

I have Ubuntu 13.04 installed on my desktop and Ubuntu 13.10 installed
on my notebook and I have same configuration on both desktops: I have 4
workspaces and I've configured through unity-tweak-took alt+tab behavior
to alternate between windows on all workspaces.

Now let me show an example:

1. First I open a terminal window on workspace 1
2. I switch to workspace 2 and open a Firefox window
3. Then I switch to workspace 3 and open a Gedit window

After open these windows, if I press alt+tab it will show these 3
windows + desktop.

Now, on Ubuntu 13.04, if I select the terminal window, alt+tab switches
to workspace 1 and terminal window get focus. If I select the Firefox
window, alt+tab switches to workspace 2 and Firefox window get focus.

On Ubuntu 13.10, the same behavior used to be true. But now, for an
unknow reason, when I press alt+tab to switch between windows, the
window I've selected doesn't get focus and the workspace remain the
same.

And the same happens when I select a window on launcher. I click on app
icon that I want to focus but nothing happens. If differents windows are
placed on same workspace, alt+tab or click on launcher works, but if
windows are placed on different workspaces, it doesn't work.

One last info, I set unity behaviors through unity-tweak-tool and not
through compiz-settings-manager so it is not a conflict problem.

It will be awesome if I could get previous behavior.
