determine from the partial name. (If your window manager defines
`M-<TAB>' to switch windows, you can type `<ESC> <TAB>' or `C-M-i'.)
The window manager of course does not use M-<TAB>. It uses Alt-<TAB>.
Meta is Emacs specific and could be on another keyboard key than Alt.
I think this should be corrected to avoid confusion.
I am not sure the existing text is wrong, but if you suggest a change,
I will think about it.
