umm it is this way because thats how windows works. the list isnt stacking -
its "most recently focused at the front/top of the list". so that to toggle
back and forth betwene 2 windows is just a single alt tab away. the most
commonly toggled windows are fewer tab presses away. just use windows. this is
how it works. alt-tab is a feature copied form windows because of all the users
conditioned into working that way. :)
