Sorry, didn't describe that well on second read, and I just noticed  
that if you hit the alt-tab like some 1980 track'n field game in the  
arcades, you can select a different activity with out focusing all the  
others on the way there. This IMO is the wrong behaviour, even with a  
longer delay to allow less frenetic tab key hitting, the behaviour  
should be to focus ON RELEASE of the alt key. That way you can take  
all the time in the world scanning the icons and choosing where you  
need to get too.
