Maybe you shouldn't use Kontact if you want to Alt-Tab between the
different applications that are embedded into Kontact. OTOH, it would
IMO be very nice if one could Alt-Tab between the different Kontact
components (and similar for other MDI apps).
FWIW, one annoying problem with Konversation (and probably also with
other apps) is that one can't Alt-Tab to it if it's not listed in the
taskbar but only in the system tray even when the Konversation window
is there.
