I just recently started using the awesome Gnome Deskbar Applet. I realized it would be a great fit for a piece of functionality that I missed sorely from my Sawfish-using days, iswitch-window. Basically, hit a key and a list of all open windows shows up. Start typing and all windows that have that substring in their title or application name are shown, cycle until you get to the one you want, and hit enter. Bam! Now you have switched to that window. Way handy. Quicker than many other means.
