Bug Description

My new Elantech touchpad supports Unitys multitouch gestures, but I've noticed one inconsistency.
I like seeing running applications from all workspaces in my Alt-Tab view,
but by using the three-finger gestures on my touchpad I can only see applications on the current workspace.

When I uncheck alt_tab_bias_viewport in CCSM, I expect Alt-Tab as well as Unity Gestures to behave the same way.

The problem:
The switcher only shows applications running on the current workspace when using Unity Gestures,
even though I've unchecked "Bias alt-tab to prefer windows on the current viewport".

The fix:
Show all windows if alt_tab_bias_viewport is unchecked.

  [ Sami Jaktholm ]
  * Shortcuts: Listen and react to view close requests. (LP: #1297842)

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * When we detect caps lock, or caps lock is pressed, render a warning
    icon to show its on. (LP: #1291737)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * DecorationsGrabEdge, PanelMenuView: perform proper WM action on
    clicks, based on user settings (LP: #1283849)

  [ Alfred Neumayer ]
  * Alt-Tab has always respected the alt-tab-bias-viewport setting, but
    the 3-finger gesture to switch between windows has not, even though
    it does the same thing. They should behave the same way depending on
    the CCSM setting. (LP: #1303060)
  * Launcher: Show and hide the launcher window OnDragUpdate() to fix
    the gesture animations (LP: #1303141)
  * If the dash has not been opened before, a 4 finger tap will result
    in a dash with no selected scope. Instead, set up the window and
    view of the dash by sending DASH_ABOUT_TO_SHOW (same happens when
    hovering the mouse pointer over the BFB icon) and open the home
    scope. (LP: #1303468)

  [ CI bot ]
  * LockScreen: add ability to show without fading in on some system
    calls Also, if locking is not enabled, calling Lock causes the
    screensaver to be initiated. Many cleanups and misc fixes. (LP:
    #1292575)

  [ William Hua ]
  * Enable sound buttons and input source switching under lock screen.
