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.
