I've been happily using matchbox for three or more years, first on an 
iPaq, then on a Boxer with OZ. I switched to Angstrom, and Alt-Tab 
doesn't work anymore. I tried to play a bit with 
/etc/matchbox/kbdconfig, and it seems to me the problem is not there - 
it would seem that all Alt key combinations are "intercepted" before 
reaching matchbox.  I haven't much time to investigate, if anybody has 
any suggestion I may give them a shot before jumping to e17, which I 
love from desktop usage...
