I didn't mean [Alt+Tab] when I said "cycle". Sorry if I mislead you.
I'll try to re-explain:
What I meant was changing from window to window by clicking the
respective taskbar entries. That way one has to look up and down over
and over again. Down to find the approriate taskbar entry, up again to
realize the content of the window - and so on. That's very annoying and
would be avoided with the taskbar on top. The taskbar entries and the
content of the windows would be much closer. That's the main reason why
I switched to "kicker on the top".
