Just in case thats not obvious: Unless there are systems where Qt4.3 still
creates Shift+Alt+Tab, the only drawback of changing this is a "huh?" by
the "normal" users when going to the configuration editor. Backtab is
probably not really known and it might not be easy to guess its the same
key on the keyboard as Tab.
