For completeness, I tried some scripts on another machine that didn't
'switchApp' you'll need a linux package 'wmctrl', as in ubuntu or debian
based machines:

sudo aptitude install wmctrl

Title:
  switchApp is not correct in Linux

Status in Sikuli:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  sikuli version: 0.10.2
  OS:  ubuntu 10.04

  once I ran switchApp("appName"), it can only work when the appName is the app related windows title, otherwise like real application binary name provided, this command won't work.
  it seems working like in Windows environment.

  I opened an vnc session by command "vncviewer IP:port", and the
  application was launched, its title is "TightVNC ....".  if I ran
  switchApp("vncviewer"), the window couldn't be brought to foreground.
  however it did if I used the command switchApp("TightVNC").
