I have tested w/ latest JOGL on X11/GNU/Linux
and Windows7.

With default settings, i.e. alwaysontop (atop) disabled,
it works as expected here, i.e.:
  - ALT-TAB triggers WM dialog, switching between apps.
  - ALT-TAB can actually switch to other apps.

However, with enabled atop:
  - ALT-TAB triggers WM dialog, switching between apps.
  - ALT-TAB does _not_ switch to other apps.

I consider this a serious issue, since we shall not steal
the desktop in fullscreen mode.
Hence - I will file a bug-report that we need to disable atop
in fullscreen mode.
