Alt-Esc works, why can't we pass Alt-Tab to the WM?

Wouldn't the vnc / tightvnc win32 servers have an example of this hook?
Since their full-screen mode does intercept those keys.
In fact, the only key they make available to escape the vnc session is
Ctrl-ESC. All others are sent down the vnc path.
Would it be ethical (or within license) to borrow that code?
