seems like a good idea but IMO the name is confusing (I don't even
know why you have chosen it). Since it's new code, can you change it to
something closer to what it does (StartAtSecond, HighlightSecondItem,
MSWinComaptibilityMode or something...)
and what do you mean by 'releasing alt in between'? isn't it possible
to make it work exctly like in mswin? [window list stays on while alt is
down, tab key moves to next entry]
btw I consider the way how the alt-tab works in win one of the few
good features of mswin... it's very fast way to switch between
applications (if you're switching between only few of them). is there
any faster way (using fvwm)?
