When I get lots of windows on the Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, I can't find a way to see, find or select/raise the hidden windows. This is so fundamental an issue, I'm sure some mechanism exists for this, but I don't see it.

Please explain how to see/find/raise hidden windows on the desktop.

You can use the Super+W keyboard shortcut to show a graphical overview of all windows; just click on the one you want to bring it up.

(Super key = Win key)

Example:

enter image description here

Keyboard-only option - `Alt+Tab`

You can also use the Alt+Tab keyboard shortcut to cycle through all running applications, including minimized ones:

Hold Alt and keep pressing Tab to cycle.

Release both keys when your chosen application is highlighted.
