Public bug reported: The problem: Alt-tab opens the cover switcher about one out of three to six times.
I tried setting the alt+tab shortcut to perform mute to see where the problem is, and it worked perfectly. So it seems that the keystroke is recorded, but cover switching isn't activated every time. I tried disabling the effect (Effect for cover switching: None) but it doesn't help. This only happens when I have the dual screen set up using Separate X screen. In Twinview clone mode alt-tab works perfectly. I'm using a Nvidia GT 9600 card with proprietary drivers from ubuntu repository. This bug was present at 11.04 and followed thru to 11.10.
