In the 4-modifier-key alternate layout I'll set this to Ctrl+Tab and 
Ctrl+Shift+Tab, since that's overall a lot more consistent (Win+Tab for 
desktop, Alt+Tab for programs, Ctrl+Tab for documents).  Given that Ctrl+Tab 
is used in the traditional KDE shortcut scheme, Ctrl+< and Ctrl+> seem OK.

Go for it.  I look forward to the results of your work. ;)  I see that someone 
added standard shortcuts to kstdaccel.cpp yesterday...
