I am looking for a solution for switching between applications (similar to ALT+TAB in Wndows).
I am running XBMC/Kodi “Media Center” (http://kodi.tv/ - the earlier verson XBMC 13 is available in OpenSuSe repo) in OpenSuse 12.3 with xfce desktop. XBMC/Kodi occupies the full desktop when running - and even hides the xfce panel. It has no minimize option as far as I can see. So I need some way to access and launch other applications, while XBMC/Kodi is running. I may need access to a chat client or whatever, for instance.
I realize that I may very well be asking a question here that is so basic that it may be close to stupid!

It may matter, because here (xfce) alt-f2 gets a prompt to start an
application by name, and alt-tab switches to another, already opened,
application.
ctrl-alt-f2 switches to a text session, doesn’t close the graphical
session. You can return to the graphical session by typing ctrl-alt-f7.
Either that mediacenter is interfering and remapping keys, or VB is.
