Public bug reported: The list of windows displayed when using the Alt-Tab shortcut should include at least the main window for each application showing on the task bar. But windows that use the WM_HINTS property to indicate that they are not interested in keyboard input are not included. A simple example program to demonstrate the problem is attached.
