Since this problem only occurs on certain Macbook Pro models, and the
Alt-Tab switcher is activated by a certain sequence of 3-finger taps,
I'm going to go with a problem in the trackpad hardware.  It sounds like
a random capacitive discharge issue.

I think the obvious solution is to be able to disable that particular
gesture in Unity.

Title:
  Alt+Tab Switcher randomly activates itself

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 13.10 on my Macbook Pro 2009 laptop. I cannot find
  a report on this bug when googling it. So I thought I would file the
  bug.

  Literally, the switcher randomly just activates itself, and then the
  icons show in the middle of the screen as per usual. The stranger
  behavior is what happens next:

  1) The switcher might automatically switch to a seemingly random app from the 
selection. 
  2) The switcher will just be displayed, but I cannot actually make it go away 
by clicking on one of the app icons. Instead, it just displays for however long 
it 'feels like,' typically ~5 seconds. 

  So.. That's it. Hope I can get some help :D
