I use F17 and Xfce. My PC is very old (Athlon) so I see a delay when
switching to a thunderbird window but it's sometimes less
than a second, sometimes maybe a couple of seconds.
So specially if your computer isn't as old then maybe you have a video
driver issue? Just a guess that might be wrong.
So the issue exists but for some reason you're having it exaggerated.

I don't see any issues on my F18 instances (VirtualBox) and F18 installed on my
laptop, so it must be something there is depending
on hardware.

Hmm, the switching problem is solved. But a second problem (which I hoped
would be fixed if I got the switching problem figured
out) still exists.
For a little more background, in order to get the nouveau driver to work with my card I had to set
"Option "NoAccel" 1 " in the
Devices section of my xorg.conf file....without this X would crash every time
(there is an open bugzilla about this that nobody
seems interested in working on).
Are you certain you don't have something else in the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory that's turning it back on?
I used to start the OS with nouveau.noaccel=1 in the linux line but that has
stopped working (yet
another bugzilla that nobody is working on that I can tell). And I solved my
switching problem by adding this to my xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "off"
EndSection
So I can switch from workspace to workspace with no issue now. The other issue
I'm still seeing is when I move a window within the
workspace...instead of the window just moving to the new location that I drag
it to there is a noticeable delay in the repaint of
the window....if I set it so that the content of the window is not shown during
the move it's less noticeable but still obvious.
And occasionally the system doesn't recognize when I release the mouse button
during the move such that if I release the button but
continue to move the mouse the window still follows the mouse and ends up in a
place that I didn't intend.
So I'm getting closer and will continue to experiment. Any thoughts or
suggestions greatly appreciated.
