It isn't really complicated at all. We are talking about a conflict of 
window manager key assignments with Emacs' assignments, and we are 
talking about it in relation to how it affects Emacs. So it makes sense 
to talk about it in terms of what Emacs calls its keybindings. M-<TAB> 
is one key assignment we have singled out as commonly affected.
