I am using xfwm4 4.7.2 with a dual screen setup with different resolutions:

$ xrandr

LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
261mm x 163mm
   1280x800       60.0*+   50.1  
   1024x768       60.0  
   800x600        60.3     56.2  
   640x480        59.9

When I press ALT+TAB I see two task switcher menus on each display. See attached screenshot.

humm, overlapping monitors... didn't think of that... What a broken setup you have :)
Comment 2 Christoph Wickert editbugs 2010-11-30 17:50:11 CET
Well, it is 12" laptop with 24" external screen when docked. Obviously you are not the only one who didn't think of such a setup. xfdesktop has some problems too: http://cwickert.fedorapeople.org/screenshots/xfce/xfdesktop-two-screens.png
