How can I remove the Alt+Tab timeout?

In Oneiric there's a timeout when pressing Alt+Tab before the icons show. How can I remove that timeout?

Solution 1:

I found this patch suggested in a launchpad discussion about this issue, and I've compiled it. Now I can configure the timeout (it's the "Delay before showing switcher" option at the top). I've uploaded the compiled deb files (for Oneiric 64 bit) on 4shared and in a torrent, if anyone wants it.

Solution 2:

If http://iloveubuntu.net/alttab-ing-gets-automatic-preview-oneiric-ocelot is right, then alt_tab_timeout is not configurable right now. That's stupid, i know.

Solution 3:

Workaround :> - hold Alt and push Tab until You reach the application You want to select - still holding the Alt push the down arrow key It will show You the child windows of your selected application immediately.
