[PATCH] Bug 36577: pressing enter when the the backdrop has focus

[Bill Haneman]

What we do in gnome (i.e. with Metacity) is use Alt-tab to cycle focus
through windows, and Ctrl-Alt-Tab to cycle through panels and the
desktop.

It would be nice to adhere to this in KDE too; I know there are efforts
afoot in freedesktop.org-land to try and come up with common HIG
guidelines and common keybindings.
