I would not touch current app switcher design, when initiated by
alt-tab (not ctrl-alt-arrow). There are bugs 608946 and 621287 if you
don't like it. What I would like to see is replace the gray box
animation in Ctrl-Alt-arrow with app switcher, allowing fast switching
to workspace _and_ app/window.
