Yeah, there are a few weird results with Atl+Tab currently, disregarding
the general argument of whether the concept of per-application grouping
makes sense. Personally, I've reported one precise case where we fail:
windows of the same application that are on the same workspace aren't
easily reachable, which is very annoying[1].

But there are a few other complaints. Most of open bugs are just
complaining about the per-app grouping idea, but some others are about
tweaks that should be added to the current Alt+Tab model to improve it.
See [2] if you feel motivated enough. ;-)
