I may be walking into this one blind, but the Alt-Tab implementation in 
Unity now (the new one) supports sorting by "focus order" or by 
"launcher order" as a side effect of the fact that the icons come in 
sorted by launcher order out of the launcher model. This is of course 
not exposed as an option however is completely available in the source 
(just comment out the line that does the sort).

I am not sure if this is what is being discussed or not. I tried it out 
however and it is kind of nice.
