Description of problem: After a gnome-shell update (not sure which one), alternate tab doesn't work. When the extension is enabled, I cannot tab at all--nothing appears and it is isn't possible to switch applications via Alt-Tab. Disabling the extension allows the standard Alt-Tab behavior to work again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.1.91-2.fc16.x86_64 gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab-3.1.91-2.fc16.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable AlternateTab extension 2. hit Alt-Tab Actual results: Nothing appears. Can't change applications via Alt-Tab. Expected results: Alt-Tab should pop up the window switcher.

I invite you to test the following update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-shell-extensions-3.2.1-1.fc16 If it doesn't solve the bug, you are *strongly* encouraged to report your issues upstream, in the following open bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661281 The fix described in this bug report and supposed to solve the problem is included in the package given above. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, according to its comments...
Still not working as of newly released 3.2.1-1 version. Have added notes to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661281 bug report.
gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab "works" in that it doesn't break "Alt-Tab" behaviour completely, but I am unable to switch it from the default mode (all_thumbnails) to the "workspace_icons", even after setting the appropriate value in dconf-editor and restarting GNOME shell (or logging out and logging back in). This *was* working prior to the 3.2.1-1 update.
OK it appears that the workaround given in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661281#c27 appears to fix it, allowing "workspace_icons" to work, so it appears to be fixed in upstream git.
It appears that there may not be a new official release with this patch until gnome-shell 3.3, so perhaps this patch could be backported to the Fedora package in the meantime.
