I can do this in KDE with simply "Alt-Tab" but can't seem to find a
way to do this in GNOME. I've found that I like GNOME better than
KDE except for this one issue (which I'm sure there's a resolution
for and I'm just not finding it).

Hmm, I thought it would at least do this if you set up your window
list to show windows on all desktops (right click the window list's
'gripper bar', and select 'Preferences'). But apparently not.

I could have sworn there was a way to do this as well, but perusing
the keyboard shortcuts and such I couldn't find what I thought I
remembered was there. Perhaps there's a gconf key to toggle this (I
looked but didn't see one)?

There might be a tool out there to add this functionality. Things
like Devils Pie and Super Switcher extend Metacity in similar ways.

Failing that, there are more customizable window managers you can use
in Gnome. In brief playing with Beryl, ISTR that it can do such a
thing. It's been ages since I used Enlightenment WM together with
Gnome, but it may well be capable of this also.
