Re: cygwin alt-tab

thanx for your reply.

actually, it was kind of my whole point to be able to use the window
manager. or at least SOME window manager, since i'm rather fond of having
multiple workspaces (a feature which apparently may be showing up in the
next version of Windows).

anyways, i did figure out how to simply reassign the shortcut keys that
cycle through the windows through Window Maker's configuration tool. I
really do'nt know how i missed figuring that out sooner.

cheers,
