Comment 63 for bug 689733

The main issue as I see it, is not that the default is now to restrict task-switching/scale to one workspace, but that there is now *no* option at all to search for windows across workspaces. Now if a user doesn't remember where they put a window, they must search through each workspace.

Previously through the use of CompizConfig Settings, one could enable a shortcut for a scale applying to only windows in the current workspace AND a scale applying to windows across all workspaces. In fact the scale all windows option is still there, it's just that it's now broken. If this were fixed, then there would be much less of a problem.
