Bug Description

Yesterday, I installed Mint 17 XFCE 64-bit. As I frequently use mc (Midnight Commander), I wanted to disable Alt+Tab as task switcher. I've done this many times - just go to the Window Manager in XFCE, clear the keyboard shortcut. But:

1) Even though the shortcut really cleared in XFCE, reopening the Window Manager showed it was still there

2) Only through the Settings manager was I able to really clear the shortcut. After that, the Window Manager shortcut was also definitively cleared

3) BUT, Alt-Tab still switches tasks! So the configuring of XFCE didn't change anything.

Is something else capturing this short-cut to switch apps?

Oh, I now noticed that after logging out, and back in, the Alt-Tab behaviour was 'normal', the short-cut was now disabled. I'm quite sure this isn't really normal though.
