Bug Description

I just installed gnome-panel and switched to gnome classic for the first time on this precise install, and noticed alt-tab does nothing. F11 still works for maximizing windows.

I noticed somebody else found the same problem about half an hour before me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953792

I see in system settings / keyboard / shortcuts, under navigation, it does say "switch applications: alt+tab".

Ugh this is driving me nuts.
