Every now and then, I press alt-tab to go between applications
in KDE 3, and it goes into a strange mode: I press alt, hold and
press tab, and the window menu comes up ... I press alt again
and it actually goes to the next window.

1. What is happening?
2. How did it get there?
3. What can I do to get out of it without just restarting KDE?
