I mean on a system where a window manager is used. Several times it has 
been pointed out that many of the most common window managers uses 
Alt-Tab for window managers window switching.

And yes, I use MS Windows. Still a majority does that. We can not 
pretend that the key bindings there are unimportant. They are important 
whehter we like it or not. I think that we will get a much larger user 
base if we acknowledge that. I think that this is important in the long 
run. I have struggled to get a working environment on MS Windows to see 
if I can switch without much trouble. As long as I have trouble getting 
things working on w32 I can not switch.
