An upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 caused a change from Unity to GNOME 3 which means there are some things to customize. I would like to have the window switching binding (by default this is Super+Tab and Alt+Tab) show the window title, as it did in Unity. Currently, vncviewer and rdesktop windows only shows a non-descriptive word under the icon when the Alt+Tab key combination is used (and held down):

nondescriptive titles

Specifically, the second and third icon from the left only show "Vncviewer" and "rdesktop", respectively. Is there any GNOME 3 extension or other configuration (gsettings or dconf) that enable the title?

I found that the LLIax's answer to the How do I "alt-tab" between windows using Gnome 3? solves this problem and the main problem in that answer.

Note that the title shows up in the middle of the whole window but that is actually good and correct: If the title is a large string of text, you need that whole strip of real-estate for the whole title to be shown:
