Bug Description

On latest Saucy if you have apps open across multiple workspaces, alt-tabbing doesn't take you to the previously used app.

Steps to reproduce.

Starting with a blank desktop, open a browser and a terminal on workspace 1
Ensure terminal is the focussed app
Switch to workspace 2, and open a new terminal there
Switch back to workspace 1 where terminal is still the focussed app.
Attempt to switch to the browser, by alt-tabbing once

You get left with the terminal focussed, not switched to the browser.

Expected behaviour.
Alt-tabbing from an app should take you to the most recently used previous app.
