In KDE 3, it is finally possible to remove the window switching
command from M-TAB, which will make it available for Emacs and other
application.  AFAIK, this was not possible in KDE 1 and 2, but this
serious BUG has been addressed now.

In the KDE 3 control panel, go to Look&Feel - Shortcuts
and change the binding for System - Navigation - Walk Through Windows
