Hi,
This bug is a xlibs bug, it has been reported several times and will be
fixed soon.
Here it is a fix from xfree's maintainer:
"A fix for this problem is available. It comes in the form of a diff
to=20
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc.
To apply this fix:
1) Retrieve the patch from
<URL: http://redwald.deadbeast.net/tmp/alt_tab_fix.diff > or the
attachment to this mail.
2) Save the patch someplace. I recommend /tmp.
3) Become root.
4) cd /
5) patch -p0 < /tmp/alt_tab_fix.diff
6) Go back to being a mere mortal user.
7) Restart your X session. Advanced users may simply reload their
keymap using setxkbmap(1x) with the proper arguments."
