Still extends below bottom of screen with many windows open. Before (kde 3.5.x)
the font got smaller to accommodate a huge number of windows in the alt-tab
box.

Selection with the mouse works fine now.

However, I see another problem with a more than 13 or 14 windows in the alt-tab
list. If you hold down alt-tab, you can't really see the position change at
all. It seems to freeze instead of continuously scrolling. This is really
visible when the alt-tab list extends the entire height of the screen. 

I am at KDE 4.4.2 (Fedora 12).
