Issue
Pressing mouse middle button while I have app switcher open (alt-tab, but keeping alt pressed), does not close the windows, instead if closes the app switcher and returns to current app.
On the other hand windows list applet in the menu does have the desired effect when mouse click in that it closes the window.
Coming from windows I do use this feature a lot, it helps to see what all is open and just close it while switching if you don't want it.

Steps to reproduce
Press alt-tab, keep alt pressed. Now middle click any open application shows in the switcher.

Expected behaviour
Close the windows which was middle clicked.
