Clarification: the alt-tab bug seems to be fixed. However the desktop
switching panel is still "sticky".

With:

<keybind key="W-Left">
<action name="DesktopLeft"><wrap>no</wrap></action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Right">
<action name="DesktopRight"><wrap>no</wrap></action>
</keybind>

and using Left_Windows_Key+arrow keeps the transient overlay panel up
and focused until ENTER is pressed.

However user C-A-arrow is OK.

I found some interesting stuff in debian bugs #255286, #274103:

Excerpt:

* Apply patch allowing Emacs to properly interpret logo keys as Meta
     rather than Meta+Super+Hyper. This problem has been showing up since
     latest XFree86 and Xorg introducted `fake keys'.

     - debian/patches/00list: updated.

Might the emacs "fix" be also applicable to openbox?
