 I'm not sure if that is possible, and the ALT+TAB box tries to grab both keyboard and mouse, 
and mouse is already grabbed during D'n'D. But you can move the mouse over taskbar entries 
and after a little delay the window belonging to the selected taskbar entry will be activated.

Fortunately, I was wrong, Qt apps grab only the mouse and not keyboard, so it's possible for 
the tabbox to grab only the keyboard. Fixed and backported. It still won't (and can't) work 
with applications that grab also keyboard while dragging, e.g. Nautilus.
Comment 3 Ilya Konstantinov 2003-04-26 09:56:39 UTC 
Qt, however, still does XGrabServer in qt_xdnd_enable. As much as I figured out, 
this is only necessary for Motif (see 
http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xdnd/other_protocols.html ). 
Gtk+, on the other hand, doesn't try to grab anything, so I wonder what causes 
Nautilus to grab.
