[openbox] Is there a way to remove the "Focus Dialog" (alt-tab)?

[kario tay]

Interesting:

Wondering if there's a flaw in my syntax somewhere.

  <!-- Keybindings for window switching -->
  <keybind key="A-Tab">
    <action name="NextWindow"/>
      <interactive>no</interactive>
      <dialog>none</dialog>
  </keybind>
  <keybind key="A-S-Tab">
    <action name="PreviousWindow"/>
      <interactive>no</interactive>
      <dialog>none</dialog>
  </keybind>
  <keybind key="C-A-Tab">
    <action name="NextWindow">
      <interactive>no</interactive>
      <dialog>none</dialog>
      <panels>yes</panels><desktop>yes</desktop>
    </action>
  </keybind>

I added 
      <interactive>no</interactive>

to see if there was an effect, then issued 'openbox --reconfigure'
on the commandline (as the login user, of course).

Still no effect...
