[arch-general] Gnome 3, a bug?

This is such a basic issue that I refuse to believe I'm the first to
bump into this behaviour.  Hence I ask here first for some help.

I recently upgraded to Gnome3 and switching between windows with
alt+tab is rather broken for me.  Here's why I say that:

1. I make sure I have two non-overlapping windows on the screen at the
   same time.
2. I position the mouse pointer in one of the window.
3. At this point I can't switch focus to the other window with
   alt+tab.

Basically I have two options:

1. Move the mouse pointer so that it's not in any window, then I can
   use alt+tab.
2. Move the mouse to switch focus.

Neither of these is very convenient.

Does anyone recognise this?
