Focus doesn't follow window selection (e.g. alt-tab) in compiz after upgrade to 11.04

[Christopher Barrington-Leigh]

Binary package hint: compiz

I upgraded to 11.04. Due to bugs documented elsewhere, I'm stuck using the Ubuntu Classic (or even Classic without effects if I have an external monitor) interface, which I'm calling compiz. I used to switch between windows conveniently with one of compiz's several window switching key strokes, for instance alt-tab. When I do it now, it only brings the chosen window to the front. It does NOT move the focus there (unless by chance the new window comes under the mouse). I think it should (and always used to). I cannot see that this is an option (nor should it have changed, were it one). I have my window behaviour set (and always have) for focus to follow changes in mouse location.
