This indeed solved that problem! It's almost nirvana... however, the
new behaviour affects the Alt-Tab keybinding and breaks <dialog>. Is
there any way to separate it from mouse cycling? Here's what I got:

    <keybind key="A-Tab">
      <action name="NextWindow">
        <linear>yes</linear>
        <raise>yes</raise>
        <bar>yes</bar>
        <dialog>list</dialog>
        <interactive>no</interactive>
      </action>
     ...

Many thanks for your involvement, Dana.
