You can select to not use unity, and instead use classic, which is what I am doing, as I abhor Unity.
I ran as guest and the alt-tab worked. I will sooner or later try with unity on my own login, but even if it works, I won't use unity. /etc/default/keyboard gives me the layout. I switch between languages using setxkbmap us/il but I do not believe it helps in either language. Z.
