Upgraded to 11.10 this morning.

Terminal windows stopped showing in the alt+tab switcher.

What's the problem and how can I fix it?

Is the problem that only one of the terminals is showing up? Do any show up?

I was experiencing the same problem and tried to fix it by gconf as explained above, but in my gconf there was not any folders named "mutter"... HOWEVER, the problem unexpectedly DISAPPEARED when the system was RESTARTED...

I had the same issue, but disappeared now (I think after restart)
As an alternative you can use alt+shift+up_arrow

I had a similar problem, but with chromium-browser and keepassx.

Ugly but effective: from a terminal window, start gnome-panel. The minimized window shows up in the panel, click to un-minimize, then kill the gnome-panel.

I had a similar problem, but with chromium-browser and keepassx.

Ugly but effective: from a terminal window, start gnome-panel. The minimized window shows up in the panel, click to un-minimize, then kill the gnome-panel.
