The problem was the following. While alt-tabbing from one
window to a xterm, wait for the xterm to be raised but
keep the alt key pressed. Now move the mouse cursor
over the xterm and release the alt key.
The result is a xterm in a zoombie focused state; its titlebar
has the focused color but xterm itself is not focused and does
not accept any input.
Fix this by reinstating the check for a NULL pointer from
wSwitchPanelHandleEvent() before changing focus. That function
detects if the mouse cursor moved over to the same window which
is currently being pointed out by the switchpanel, and returns
NULL in this case (the check for panel->current != focus fails).
Thanks to Paul Harris for reporting it!
For those not familiar with the way Macs cycle windows, the Command-Tab
sequence (Alt-Tab elsewhere) switches between DIFFERENT application windows
and Command-Grave (key above tab) switches between windows owned by the
SAME application as is currently focused. So if you had three Safari and
two Finder windows open, and Safari had focus, Command-Tab would switch to
Finder; Command-Tab would switch back to Safari; Command-Grave would switch
to a different Safari window etc.
This patch implements "something like" the above by only populating the
switchpanel with windows matching the currently-focused WWindow's wm_class
when the new cycling mode is activated. In practice this means you can
switch to The Next XTerm or The Next Firefox Window using this method.
The configuration names for these new shortcuts are GroupNext and
GroupPrev. The patch tells WPrefs.app about them. Of course switching to
The Next Window is still possible with the (unchanged) FocusNext and
FocusPrev keys.
These are some of the fixes sent to the wmaker-dev list by
Vladimir Nadvornik, with minor modifications to address Dan
Pascu's concerns.

The switch panel was not being destroyed with the realease of
FOCUSPREV, only with FOCUSNEXT. Fix this.
One can reproduce this bug as follows.
In the "Keyboard Shortcut Preferences" of WPrefs set "Focus next window"
to e.g. "Alt+Tab" and "Focus previous window" to "Ctrl+Tab".
The switchpanel is not destroyed if we release "Ctrl+Tab" but it
is upon releasing of "Alt+Tab".

[crmafra: Commit log]
Daniel Déchelotte reported one problem with the escape handling in
the switchpanel:
"Start with two windows: a fullscreen one, and a smaller window
that appears above the fullscreen one. With the mouse, focus the
bigger window. Start alt-tabbing, then press Escape. The bigger
window will then be focused (good) *and raised* (small problem)."
Fix this by adding a test for the escape key before calling
raiseWindow().
1. Setup two windows in a workspace, one at the center and the
other at a corner. Move the mouse to the center of the screen, so
that the focus goes to the center window. Now, with the help of the
keyboard (with Alt-tab, typically), try and switch the focus to the
other window. In doing so, the switch panel shows up, gives the
focus to the other window and then disappears. However, its
disappearance make it seem to wmaker that the mouse has just
entered the center window, so wmaker gives the focus to that
window again.
2. It is a lit bit more involved. "Raise window when switching
focus with keyboard" needs to be set. In a given workspace, maximize
a first window A, then setup "above" window A two windows B and C
(one in the upper left corner and the other one in the lower right
corner, for example). Move the mouse so as to give the focus to
window B. Press the Alt key, hit the key tab once (window A moves
up to the "top"), then another time (window C is then selected).
Eventually relase the Alt key: window B is given the focus again.
Correction: it is a matter of ignoring some (EnterNotify) events
when the switch panel is active or has just been used.
Pressing the escape key (ESC) while the switchpanel is active
cancels it and gives the focus back to the window which had it
before the switchpanel was invoked.
If all windows are minimized before the switchpanel was called,
they will continue to be if ESC is pressed.
In other words, pressing ESC is like going to the parallel universe
where you never entered the switchpanel in the first place.
Based on a patch by Nicolas Bonifas from 17.08.2009.
This way we avoid code duplication in 6 places.
This changes the previous behavior of the first
instance because the helper function has an extra
CommitStacking(scr);
compared to the original code. But it should not
hurt to have it.
We can get rid of one overall tab by moving the
if(swpanel)
test -- which was done everytime in each individual case --
to the beginning, therefore encompassing all cases.

- Fixed bug in icon chooser dialog that could cause a segmentation fault
in some cases (Pascal Hofstee <caelian@gmail.com>)
- Fixed crash in asm code in wrlib, with new versions of gcc.
- Fixed bug in the x86_PseudoColor_32_to_8() function which incorrectly
used the r, g, b fields in the conversion.
- Fixed x86 ASM code in wrlib to work on 64 bit architectures.
- Fixed the focus flicker seen with some apps (notably gtk2)
(Alexey Spiridonov <snarkmaster@gmail.com>)
- Fixed all crashing bugs that were generated by wmaker starting with the
WMState file missing.
- Added NetWM support (a modified version of the patch originaly written
by Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied patch to enhance the Virtual Desktop behaviour, and to integrate
it with the NetWM code (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied a few xinerama and placement fixes (Peter Zijlstra
<a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Fixed memory leak in dock code.
- Fixed and enhanced the text wrapping in WINGs.
- Fixed the layout of some elements in WPrefs.app
- Added workaround for aplications that don't set the required hints on the
client leader window, but they set them on normal windows (observer with
KDE 3.3.0 mainly). This will allow these apps to get an appicon again.
(they should be fixed still)
- Added workaround for applications that do not set a command with
XSetCommand(), but instead they set the _NET_WM_PID property. This works
with operating systems that offer a /proc interface similar to what linux
has. (This also is to fix problems with KDE 3.3.0 apps, but not only them).
- Fixed bug with autostart and exit scripts not being executed if user
GNUstep path was different from ~/GNUstep (when setting GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT)
- Added utf8 support in WINGs (removed old X core font code)
- Added utility to convert old font names to new font names in style files
- Separated the font caches for normal fonts and fontsets in WINGs (they can
have the same names and collide in the cache giving unwanted results)
- Updated the years in the copyright notices
internal code clean-up with notifications for window state change and other
stuff, also cleaned kde and gnome support in preparation for wm-spec support..
