I'm finding it a bit painful on Unity now too, but I'm wondering whether the problem is actually with the terminal programs rather than with the alt-tab behaviour. Most of the time I actually do want to treat all the windows of a single application as a group. But terminal sessions seem different to me - two terminal windows are not related closely to each other just because they are managed by the same application. Perhaps I need to find the setting that stops terminal windows from being grouped together...
