I fought with this "bug" for a long time, and was hoping that Java
1.5 on Linux would solve the problem. Then again, it may be a window manager issue; as I think when I switched to a very light window manager (can't for the life of me remember which one) for the POS terminals I was able to avoid the problem. Alt-Tab was never disabled in the main window, I used to just configure a special user login which had access to no applications (due to the fact it was a mini-window manager) and ran the POS application on login; logged out when the terminal was closed. Disabling alt-tab in this case was not necessary. Again, I really think this is a window manager issue. Maybe try different managers and see if you have different results?
