Hi,

That's a xlibs bug, already reported:
#254973, #255063, #255192, #255216, #255332, #255778, #256192, #256594,
#256596, #256706, #256875, #256939, #257044, #257305, #257454


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
/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."


Cheers,
