Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Posted Nov 10, 2011 18:37 UTC (Thu) by cortana (subscriber, #24596)In reply to: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register) by drag Parent article: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)
The problem I have with gnome-shell is that it is not convenient to switch from one program to a particular window of another.
e.g., I want to switch from my web browser to the particular terminal window running mutt to write a mail. I used to be able to do this with Alt+Tab, now it's Alt-Tab followed by between 0 and nterminals-1 Alt-` keypresses to do so.

Only the first time you flip between the terminal and your browser. If you are switching back and forth between apps it should default to the window you last used for that application.

I have a diverse working set of same-app windows, what do I do?
Again, many emacs frames, many terminal apps. What is the proposed Gnome 3 workflow?

If you can get your terminal emulator to create its windows with a different WM_CLASS depending on their purpose then they will show up as separate top-level applications in gnome-shell, which is pretty cool. This may be one component of a solution.

The proposed workflow is to switch to xfce.
