I, for example, use Alt+Tab constrained to the current desktop, but the taskbar lists all windows. Or, also, if there would be one shortcut for showing only current desktop and another for showing all windows, what should this option be set to? > AFAIK, alt-tab behaviour isn't even defined in EWMH (correct me if I'm > wrong), so if things are going in this direction, let define it first. > Of course, some of today wm's does not implement it at all, relaying on > pager, and this could be major argument against alt-tab implementation. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] , [email protected] Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http//www.suse.cz
