Bug Description
alt-tab - The app title in the top left of the top bar should change inline with changes in alt-tab focus.
As a user tabs through different applications, the app title should reflect the application that is currently focused.

Ideally we should use _NET_WM_ STATE_FOCUSED rather than _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW for determining which window is logically active.
http:// mail.gnome. org/archives/ wm-spec- list/2011- October/ msg00000. html
_NET_WM_ STATE_FOCUSED allows window managers to specify which window(s) are logically in focus rather than _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW which is restricted to which window has the input focus, which we can't just change whenever we want for various reasons. Compiz still needs support for this, I'm pretty sure I added it in last week but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
