Have a need to run X-terminals with minimalistic windows programs running, just XWin in fullscreen. How can I make window manager recieve Alt-Tab/Alt-Shift-Tab pressings?


Windows will always handle taskswitch with alt-tab. You can not disable it.
How the window manager handles keys depends on the window manager. Check
the documentation and the config files for the window manager.

Are you sure? As for WinNT SP3a and later the solution in described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0700/win32/default.aspx. Don't know if it works in Win98SE, etc.

As for Win98SE, there are some apps blocking Alt-Tab, but window manager does not recieve it anyway.

I know i can bind another key to window switching, but i need Alt-Tab to avoid users' questions.....

WBR, Alex.
