Bug Description

When I quickly Alt+Tab between two applications (i.e., Alt+Tab-release, Alt+Tab-release, ...), sometimes neither application is focused when I stop. I have to click on the window (or Alt+Tab again) in order to regain focus. I do not know what has focus in these instances, as when I type nothing seems to happen.

To reproduce:
1) Open two (or more) applications
2) Quickly (about twice/second will do) Alt+Tab between two applications (i.e., Alt+Tab-release, Alt+Tab-release, ...) until Unity's top bar shows a blank application title

~$ lsb_release -rd
