In Xorg, alt+tab will switch between open windows
the xmodmap script trunk/support-files/Dyalog-Keyboard/apl.xmodmap maps both Alt key as well as the meta ("Windows") keys to the APL modifier key.
My xmodmap script reverts the Alt keys back to their pre- trunk/support-files/Dyalog-Keyboard/apl.xmodmap state, so that Xorg's alt+tab behaviour is unaffected. APL glyphs are still available through the Meta-keys as the modifiers.

Hi Jürgen,
I'm not sure if this is a significant enough change to add as a new file in GNU APL, but this change augments the Dyalog keyboard layout to have alt+tab "work". This behaviour is disabled on my computer (Debian) when I enable that layout:
a@a:~/aplstuff$ diff apl.tab.xmodmap trunk/support-files/Dyalog-Keyboard/apl.xmodmap57c57
< keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L

< keycode 108 = Alt_L Meta_L

File is attached-Alex
