The Gnome startup splash screen and the desktop switcher dialog and the task switcher dialog /hang/ on top unless I click it. This appeared first in unstable at 3 July 2004 and experimental doesn't fix it. It seems to me that there are broken configuration files.

That means that I can not switch tasks by pressing [alt]+[tab] or desktops by [ctrl]+[alt]+[arrow-keys].
