Binary package hint: gnome-panel
The windows switchable with alt-tab are currently only the one in the current workspace, and don't take account of the "flashing" ones, i.e. the ones that need user attention (which can have focus immediately with a single alt-tab).
It would be good to list the windows in the other workspaces too, and give priority to the flashing ones. This behaviour could be enabled/disabled via an options window.

sure it'll be a nice feature be able to access automagically any windows which require user interaction via alt-tab no matter to which workspace belong
