Well, it turns out this is not limited to Alt+Shift+Tab. It seems to
also apply to Alt+Print, which according to Bugreport #153211 creates
Alt+Shift+Print.

So in the end I think we need a fix for KGlobalAccel's grabbing,
unfortunately I have 0 idea about X11-Keyboard-Grabbing (or any other
X11 stuff). So anybody who could lend a hand here?
