Hmm, no luck. I updated kdelibs & kdebase on the laptop.... ouch, not better,
maybe even worse.
I don't think the problem is only Alt+Tab and its grabbing.
With simply two windows opened (a konsole and an xemacs, or even two xterms!),
if I click inside the one of the windows => the mouse pointer is 'stuck' to its 
current shape and won't change, whatever I do with it.
So this looks like some "focus" problem... 
Either kwin or X......

Hmm, just tried kwin from KDE 2.0 ... same problem.
Then I tried kwm (KDE-1.1.2)... _no_ problem.

So... long standing kwin bug ?
How can I debug this ?
