Hello,

I just upgraded another box and stumbled again on this bug: it breaks
desktop switching and alt-tab, this is REALLY ODD.

When are you planning to fix it?

This is not the point: I don't care about the default theme, I use the
traditional style with the openstep theme background, as it looks most
like the orinigal openstep 4.2 I have still floating around somewhere.

If you change the default theme to be like this fine with me, but PLEASE
revert all the other settings. If these things are missing in
/usr/share/WindowMaker/Default/WindowMaker, setting they seem to not
work even if I have them activated in my ~/GNUSTEP/Default/WindowMaker
file.

Yes fine with me, but this is not the point as stated above. It is the
functionality which got broken, you did not just change the style...

They used to be this way since... well, I use wmaker since version
0.11.0 and it was always this way, if ppl want it to be different they
have to change theshortcuts in WPrefs. I did change many shortcuts
myself.

I have save-session active yes, but the change happend when logging out,
upgrading, and logging back in, it seems the "other funny thing" to me
then.

Hm, I have trouble parsing this sentence. Wmaker had desktop switching
since ages on meta-1..0, and now you "fixed" it because other
applications being released years later (all gnome stuff for example)
use these shortcuts for something different? If I want meta-1..0 to work
in xchat irssi firefox etc I prefer to have to change wmaker settings 
on my own, rather than having the new maintainer break my long-aged
standard.

If you need any help with this, drop me a line.

Best regards
