Ubuntu 11.10
Unity and/or Compiz bug
I upgraded recently from 11.04

If I switch from one space to another using only keyboard (Mod+S) ,
I don't get focus on top window in that space.
Now, if I press Alt+Tab to focus on window it will switch me back
to previous space and focus last focused window there.
This is very annoying bug, and it force me to search for mouse
on desk to get window activated.
If I switch with Ctrl+Alt+(Left | Right ....) all is fine.
But often I need to use expo to locate right space.

This is even more frustrating.
It often happens that I switch windows with Alt+Tab
within same space, and previous window will still keep keyboard focus,
If I start typing, it affects previous window not top window.

After login, window asking to enter key ring password pop ups without focus to.

This issue repeats all around,
if you don't use mouse so often and rely more on keyboard
 you will notice that this bug make unity literally useless.

Otherwise unity is great, and I'm sure it will be top desktop
interface after getting all details sorted out.

I would like if you would consider this bug
as urgent, I would :-).

Thank you,
Faruk
