I really like the WindowManager style here, for alt+tab just serially changing
between the apps of the currently visible virtual screen.  For the gnome3 way
I would actually have to look at the mini terminals in the app preview, identify
the one I want and then select it.
I reverted now to a style where I have either just one terminal per virtual
screen - as switching virtual screens is easy.  Or have a second, not so often 
used terminal open and activate it using the thinkpad trackball, which is
slower than using keys but still more comfortable for me than crawling
through all the open terminals..
