Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Alt+TAB doesn't show alle open windows from all desktop what it used to do on 3.5.1. The option in the kontrol center does not have any affect.

Same seems to happen here - the control center option has no effect

Same here with kdebase-3.5.2-1.2.fc4 from the kde-redhat repo. on my FC4 box. Reverting back to kdebase-3.5.1 fixed the problem.

I can confirm this on FreeBSD using FreeBSD ports. In KDE 3.5.1, I could traverse windows on all desktops via alt+tab. On 3.5.2, this setting gets ignored and I only see the windows on the current desktop.

another info : when the list is not displayed AND the option to navigate on all desktop is activated (first option is disabled but second is enabled in the control center), the navigation shows all windows from all desktop. So it seems that this is the windows list that is not complete.

Here is a bit of analysis on what is going on: In SVN revision 514048, a separate focus chain for each desktop was introduced. The methods Workspace::nextFocusChainClient() and Workspace::previousFocusChainClient() (both in kdebase/kwin/tabbox.cpp) now only look for windows on the current desktop. Therefore, only windows from the current desktop appear in the alt-tab box. The easiest way to fix this problem would probably be to revert the two methods above to their old behavior - they should return windows from all desktops again. TabBox::createClientList() checks whether the returned window is on the desired desktop or not anyway.

SVN commit 528608 by lunakl: Separate focus chains are nice, but KDE-style Alt+Tab not limited to the current desktop still needs the global one for MRU.
