Thanks for your bugreport and your detailed review.
Could you please try a current intrepid snapshot (e.g. the livecd) and
see if the current compiz switcher works better for you now? We switched
to the new compiz static switcher that should address most (all?) of
your points.
Thanks,
Michael

I appear to have the static switcher in Hardy now. I have installed
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 0.7.6-0ubuntu1~ppa1 which probably explains
it. I tried it and it works... But I use one of the pretty moving
switchers exclusively so I haven't use it MUCH.

There's no existing plugin that does it as far as I'm aware.
A Feature Request upstream is a good idea, but I am not sure exactly how
to make a feature request to compiz. I made a post to the compiz fusion
forums, which was all I could find, so I hope that is the correct thing
to do:

Compiz default
I agree with all the points in the original post. It's sort of a
regression since pre-compiz versions of Ubuntu. Kudos to anyone who
picks up this feature desktop / regression.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does
not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to
a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you
are facing, but
I don't find the support question that you've converted this to, but in
any case this is not a support request.
I thought it was a pretty clear cut usability bug. The compiz behaviour
differs from metacity, which means behaviour changes between having
desktop effects on and off, and the compiz
This is at least a clear feature request which requires development, and
is not a question, so it does not seem appropriate for the answer
tracker.
Many (like me) consider it a usability bug, especially when going back
and forth between metacity and compiz, but we don't have to quibble
about
I have the same reaction, and same goals. When I have 20 windows up, it
is a real pain to find the one I want. This was easy in metacity.
