alt-tab does not show Geany when it is open

Asked by Cliffm

Hello
I am using Ubuntu 12.04
When I try to move to Geany from say Document viewer using Alt/tab. Geany does not show up as one of the selections.
Where should I look to correct this?

would this be related weather-indicator does not load?

If you run:

ps -ef | grep -i compiz | grep -v grep; lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy compiz

What is output?

run:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager; ccsm

Then enable the ring switcher, check the shortcut to initiate it, does it show ok there?
