Have you ever tried the "kompose" package? It is similar to Exposé for
Mac OS X. With a keyboard shortcut (or a configurable mouse movement)
you get a graphical overview of all application windows, grouped by
desktop. Then you can just click on the one you want. A very nice way
to switch to the right window if you are a "visual" person.
