Probably there are > a lot of Window managers for X11 that bind M-TAB by default. Thanks for the info, I was not sure! What I meant is that since Alt-Tab (or M-) is used by window managers it is unfortunate that Info mention Alt-Tab for completion. It would be much more useful if it mentioned M-C-i. (Or Esc-Tab, but that does not work with viper-mode so it is a bit less useful. I would not be using Emacs without viper-mode I guess.)
