There are now so many ways to switch between windows of an application, this
bug no longer applies.
* quicklists using right-click on the launcher
* alt-tab and alt-key-above-tab using the keyboard
* super-number keypresses cycle through windows (as suggested in this bug)

What I'm missing the most in Unity, it's the "Window list" applet of the
Gnome panel.
For example, I do a lot of scientific work with Scilab or Octave;
sometimes, I can plot 10 to 15 graphics for a single instance of Scilab,
all of which are on a window of its own. At this point, I have not found

Is there a reason this is not enable by default?
And would the people that have issues with the current behavior accept
To this end, if an agenda is on the cards, may I suggest that upon

Readability of expo items, a lack of borders, a lack of mouse-over
highlighting, and sane keyboard methods all contribute to this.
If there is one area of Unity that has been impossible to master and
recommend over the panel,
** Summary changed:
- Cycling through app and global expo items need improvement
+ Cycling through app windows and apps themselves need improvement
