<heh> Perhaps you misunderstood; I was suggesting an idea, not saying
that I knew how to implement it or even where to start (I would
describe myself as an advanced user, not a developer... in fact I'm
not even sure exactly where Compiz stores its local settings!)

One of the things that I've noticed BTW is that in ccsm, in Actions ->
Key bindings for Ring Switcher, I can't seem to change "Next Window"
from Super+Tab to Alt+Tab (note in Application Switcher, "Next window"
and "Prev window" are blue).
