My /usr/dt/config/C/sys.dtwmrc has
Alt<Key>Tab root|icon|window f.next_key
Alt Shift<Key>Tab root|icon|window f.prev_key

In other words, those key combinations advance the focus to the
next window or the previous window, respectively.

AFAIK, there is not and never has been a _command_ to toggle
the icon box in CDE; one has to add the line
Dtwm*UseIconBox: True

to one's ~/.Xdefaults, and then reload them and restart dtwm (or
else log out and back in again).

In my .Xdefaults, I have that surrounded by preprocessor conditionals,
so that the icon box is only enabled on my VirtualBox clients, and
not on my actual Suns; since with VirtualBox seamless mode, icons not
in an icon box aren't visible at all. That looks like this:

#if defined(SRVR_virtualbox_sxce) || defined(SRVR_virtualbox_indiana)
!! dtwm icon box resources:
!! Name Class Value Type Default
!! iconBoxGeometry IconBoxGeometry string 6x1+0-0
!! iconBoxName IconBoxName string iconbox
!! iconBoxSBDisplayPolicy IconBoxSBDisplayPolicy string all
!! iconBoxTitle IconBoxTitle XmString Icons
!! useIconBox UseIconBox True/False False
Dtwm*UseIconBox: True
Dtwm*IconBoxSBDisplayPolicy: horizontal
Dtwm*client.clientDecoration: border resizeh
Dtwm*iconbox.clientDecoration: border resizeh
#endif

where SRVR_virtualbox_sxce and SRVR_virtualbox_indiana correspond to
host names virtualbox-sxce and virtualbox-indiana (note that symbols
legal in a host name but not in a preprocessor symbol get changed to
underlines).


Haven't looked at the L4 key, but I don't know of any reason why it
should be broken. (I'm sitting at my Mac, running a remote X desktop
off of one Sun and x86 under VirtualBox, but I don't feel like getting
up and walking into the other room just now...shoveling snow+eating food
make me sleepy...)
