Public bug reported:
Since 11.04, the "taskbar" is replaced by only the title of the current
application window, and alt-tab shows a preview of each with no text
info. This makes it very difficult to identify a window of an
application if it looks similar to others. Case in point: two Virtualbox
guests and two RDP (Remmina) sessions, all showing a Windows desktop.
Unless I activate each one, there's no way to tell which is which. Even
when when I do, both these applications remap alt-tab to their windows -
this is by design - so I can't keep switching to the next application
using the keyboard. A simple solution for this problem would be to bring
the "old" taskbar back, even as an option buried in gconf/dconf.
