Bug Description
the alt + tab pressed quickly (without the switcher showing) seems to have some inconsistencies.
First test case, which seems to have the right behavior:
1. Have a chromium instance, and 2 thundebird windows (a composer window and the main window) on the same worspace
2. I can quickly alt + tab between the 2 last windows like the main window and the composer
-> this behavior seems right
1. Now, same configuration, but the two last windows I want to switch between is the chromium window and the thunderbird composer (for some copy and paste, for instance).
2. Make sure the thunderbird composer window is focused
3. Then focus the chromium window
4. press alt + tab quickly (so the switcher does not show)
Current incorrect behaviour:
- The thunderbird composer window gets the focus (correct) and the thunderbird main window is placed on top of the chromium window in the z order stack (incorrect)
Correct desired behaviour:
- The thunderbird composer window gets the focus
- The z-order of all other windows is unaffected.

Confirming the issue, it's quite annoying especially when you have several instance of a same program open (think text editor, im discussions, etc) and regularly switch between one of those instances and i.e a web browser you don't want all your open text to go back on screen over the browser every time, or your pidgin buddy list to come to front because you reply to a friend in the chat dialog
