http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/solving-the-alt-tab-problem/
Ideas from that: other hot key for "go back to most recent window"

* Keep Emacs out of focust history
Filter Emacs out of focus history when it is used for switching.

* Dedup WMCLASS
WMCLASS is often program.Program, transform theses to just Program

* Strip WMCLASS from end of title
Title often ends with WMCLASS or something like that.  Try to strip these off.
