I don't see how it's a problem of the windows manager. I happen to have several programs open at the same time and often switch between them. For example, I'm using the terminal, than switch to Emacs and want to see the output document. The next window that can be reached by ALT + TAB is the terminal, not Okular, how could the window manager guess I want to switch directly to the document viewer? I missed to stress one important point of C-c C-v: when forward search is enabled --- and I guess most of us has it on --- C-c C-v moves the viewer to the corresponding point, this isn't something that can be achieved by simply switching to the viewer with ALT + TAB. Thus, removing the --unique option now would make extremely annoying using forward search with Okular. As I already stated, I agree that currently working with multiple documents can be inconvenient, but breaking usage of forward search doesn't look a solution to me. Fixing the behavior of Okular seems a better approach. After that, the --unique option is surely not needed anymore.
