alt-tab: client window receives tab / pressing both shift-keys = caps-lock

Hello,

when I use alt-tab to switch from XWin to a window outside of XWin, the
currently active client window receives every tab I hit to get to the other
window.

Inside XWin, I'm using an old version of mwm (running on a HP/UX 11) to
manage the windows, and I switch with CTRL-TAB.  My installation of cygwin
and XFree86 on it are hardly a week old, so I suppose I am fairly up to
date.  The client windows are cygwin/XFree86's xterm  (the HP/UX xterm seems
unable to handle dead keys inside XWin, although it had no problem with that
using Kea!X, I'm using a belgian keyboard through xkb).

Then I have another special feature: when I accidentally (or on purpose)
press both shift keys, characters remain in uppercase, I have to switch that
of by hitting the shift keys separately.  It happens quite often by
accident, when typing a short word in uppercase, say WHAT?

Great products, both cygwin and the XFree86 port, I feel more at home at
work now ;-)
