ALT-TAB will switch between windows on fvwm and fvwm-95, maybe with other
window managers also.  Window.toFront() will move a window to the foreground
and get the focus; Component.requestFocus() should make a component active,
although I've found this doesn't work sometimes, particularly if the
component is in a Window, rather than a Frame.
