I also have the opinion that the application switcher in metacity is
much easier to use. Would it be possible to have some options for
compiz-plugin application switcher to have it behave more like that when
the user would like to?

1) For starters an options that will only show you the icon and not a
scaled down version of the window behind it.

2) Another option would be that for 1, 2, 3, and perhaps 4 and 5
applications, the behaviour can be set that not the icons move but the
highlight (black square around the icon) moves. With only a few
applications the effect of moving through a list is gone. Try switching
with two applications. One gets the impression that more applications
are active.

3) Also not all icons of applications are shown. E.g. icons of amsn,
xsane are not shown in compiz-plugins 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu7

I hope the above two feature requests can be implemented and the one bug
can be fixed or do I have to report these explicitly upstream?

Implementing and fixing will not shock (not so experienced) users so
much as is happening now.
