Hi Marco

You idea is nice although I wonder if it will be accepted by wide range
of users. Probably, you may want to bring the window which title you
type instead of using user-assigned keys. For example, you may want to
start with keypress Ctrl+Alt+... (although there are many keys, almost
all keybindings are now busy, so it will be hard to find free one) and
then type Evolution to bring evolution windows. 

Anyhow, you can try to implement it for yourself, that should be rather
easy. If you brave enough, you can start with building metacity and
libwnck from CVS. Ask when you'll be ready
