Bug Description

It appears to me as if unity doesn't really see Terminal windows. The Alt+Tab application switcher doesn't list them at all. And after I've dragged the Terminal icon from the dash thingy to the dock, it still isn't illuminated like other running applications are, althigh I have at least three terminal windows open. It appears that the Terminal I'm using is actually gnome-terminal.

One reboot later, I cannot reproduce this problem. So what did I do in my last session?
* Install ccsm
* Reduce icon size in dock
* Drag terminal icon from dash to dock
* Install some recent updates, kernel I believe, maybe others as well
Not sure how any of these might influence the issue, but I'll make sure to tell you if I ever encounter this again.
