Summary:                    Make xfwm alt-tab skip over panels
Description: 
This is a Debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=226750

If you run xfwm4 as your window manager but use the gnome-panel (don't ask
me why... ;)) when you alt-tab you can alt-tab to the panel which is
useless.

The patch to remove this behaviour (against 4.0.2) is apparently:
--- old/xfwm4-4.0.2/src/client.c
+++ xfwm4-4.0.2/src/client.c

WINDOW_TYPE_DONT_PLACE */

             }


Hopefully that's enough of an idea for you to give your verdict on this.
