Bug Description

Since Yelp's content isn't up-to-date, please see http://91.189.93.101/shell-windows-switching.html

When you hold down the <key>Alt</key> key and then press <key>Tab</key>, a <em>window switcher</em> appears. This shows a list of the windows you have open, with a preview.

There are two incorrect statements:

1. No windows will be shown, only icons of applications
2. There is no "preview" (which probably refers to preview of open windows)

Instead window switcher shows icons of open applications with no previews of windows.
