Excuse me for the long time to reply, I'm in exams period. I have the same problem with the full screen mode of OpenOffice.org Presentaciones (Impress), so I think it can be a problem of the compiz. Without using compiz efects it doesn't work the same way, by pressing ALT-TAB with compiz the windows apears on top with every press. With out compiz you must select the new windows and then change to the top of the desktop.

(Creo que me haré entender mejor en español. Al usar compiz las ventanas van apareciendo encima de las demás una tras otra hasta que llegas a la que quieres, si no uso compiz lo que aparece es una ventanita en la que aparecen las aplicaciones que tienes abiertas y seleccionas la que quieres sobre dicha ventana y después es cuando aparece encima de la otras.)

Thanks a lot.
