Bug Description
When displaying a full screen window that is unredirected, such as Virtualbox or LibreOffice Impress, trying to Alt-Tab to a different window does not display the Switcher.
This is due to how unredirected full screen windows are handled. No compositing occurs which in turn disables any Unity elements from displaying on the screen.
I think this is a limitation since many users who are displaying a full screen window that is unredirected would want to Alt-Tab to a different window.
