thanks to stormyeyes from the ubuntu forums, just replace

<keybind key="A-Tab">
       <action name="NextWindow"/>
  </keybind>
  <keybind key="A-S-Tab">
       <action name="PreviousWindow"/>
  </keybind>

in your rc.xml with this:

<keybind key="A-Tab">
       <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-menu</menu></action>
  </keybind>
  <keybind key="A-S-Tab">
       <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-menu</menu></action>
  </keybind>

he claims it "rocks like a ninja..."  i don't know about that, but i 
love it.
