Ubuntu has no problems with switching windows for the same application 
(xterm, gvim). So I guess, it is more a problem of Xubuntu/Xfce4. I 
could not find any bug-reports about xterm or gvim, having problems with 
switching between windows. But I found some reports regarding the 
xfce4-terminal: There were problems with the autocompletion by using the 
tab-key. The workaround was, to clear the shortcut for »Switch window 
for same application« (default: Super+Tab). It looks somehow related to 
my problem...
