Maybe the window could have a number the Tile in tilebar
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| (1)                 Google Search: y-windows - Mozilla Firefox | _ o x |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

In this case alt+tab+1 switches to that window. This is better because
you do not need to remember what window was open before.... well maybe
alt+tab+[leftarrow] or alt+tab+f2 could do that...

The taskbar (if any) may look like this
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|+-----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+|
|| (1) Goole Search: ... | (4) X-Chat [2.0.8]... | (6) And so on...     ||
|+-----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

In this case alt+tab+4 switches to X-Chat.

Well thats only a suggestion, and could be coexist with other ideas...
All we know that pressing alt+tab+tab+tab+tab+tab+tab is a bad idea.
