Well, I normally use keyboard for that stuff all the time, but
sometimes you do mouse-intensive things...

Nope, from-scratch FC1 install, clean $HOME. I don't have this problem
on every virtual desktop, and don't have it all the time.

Currently, I have an 4x2 desktop layout, and desktop #2 has one single
gnome-terminal. The pager in the panel confirms that. If I do ALT-Tab,
I get TWO choices... the gnome-terminal instance and the mozilla running
in the desktop below (#6). Actually, I even get this one as first
choice, so if I release ALT too hasty, the mozilla window would get
drawn into my desktop #2.
