    Alt + tab working only randomly

    I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 11.04 and my alt+tab for desktop switching started to act up. It only works for about one out of three to six times. I tried setting the alt+tab shortcut to mute to see where the problem is, and it worked perfectly. So it seems that the keystroke is recorded, but cover switching isn't activated all the time. I tried disabling the effect (Effect for cover switching: None) but it doesn't help.

    I've been able to troubleshoot my way out of pretty much everything so far, but now I'm out of ideas. What could cause this?

    I'm have a Nvidia 9600GT card with a dual screen setup. I'm mentioning this just in case, because there's been some trouble with the driver before.

    OK, so it has something to do with the dual screen. I switched from Separate X screen to Twinview and now Alt+Tab works flawlessly. Any ideas what to do to get it working in Separate screen mode as well?

    OK so now I'm running 11.10 and the problem persists. If I'm in twinview clone mode everything's fine, but when I switch to separate screen dual head mode, the program switcher works only some of the time when pressing alt-tab. Any ideas?
