Bug Description

On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS we could run an Xvnc session (and MATE DE in it) and use Alt+Tab to switch between windows. Doing the same on 16.04 leads to the strange behaviour that I can only switch to the very next window, not to others. I can see their icons but only Alt+Tab to the second.

This affects all our xrdp sessions (running on Xvnc).

Keys like Ctrl+Alt+left/right to switch between desktops work fine.

I did some tests on Ubuntu 16.04:

{{{
    || || x11vnc || vnc4server ||
    || marco || OK || FAIL ||
    || openbox || OK || OK ||
}}}

This seems to happen with window-manager marco but not with openbox, for example.
