Compiz Question

[Kent Borg]

About the window switcher (alt-tab): is it possible to use compiz but 
still have the old window switcher?

Why I want it: The old switcher lets me see a lot of windows so I can 
quickly see what I want to find.  For example, step forward by three.  
Or, I can step backward with the shift key.  (And, obviously, if I step 
too far I can go back one with the old switcher.)  The key to the old 
window switcher is it shows me a very terse summary of all my windows.  
The new window switcher shows me too complete a copy.  If I want the 
real thing I can switch to the real thing.

I routinely have 20 windows open.  Really.  The old switcher helps me 
handle that (icons and name-by-name).  Plus, I use the Window Selector 
menu (mini icons and complete list of names).  And no, I don't have a 
bar at the bottom of my screen; what a waste of space, and it is only 
good for a few windows.

Can I have compiz and the old window switcher?


Thanks,
