Walk through windows on all screens

I am running Kubuntu 6.10 on a box with two monitors. Everything works fine, except for this one thing. When I press Alt+Tab to switch to another active program, it only lists the programs on the screen I am currently on. I want to switch between all programs, no matter what screen they are on. Does anybody have any hints on how to solve this?
Best Regards

RE: Walk through windows on all screens

Right click a window title and choose Configure Window Behaviour. Go to Focus and in the section below you'll see options on how to traverse windows with Alt Tab.

RE: Walk through windows on all screens

Yea, I did try that before but it did not affect the behavior.
I thought that the option "Traverse windows on all desktops" would help me, but it didn't. This option only helps for windows on other desktops, not on the other screen.
Is it maybe a bug in KDE?

Use "Separate Screen Focus"

After upgrading to Kubuntu 7.04, I experienced this problem. You need to enable the "Separate Screen Focus" option in the "Focus" section (see screenshot). In the kwinrc file, the following line must be present:

SeparateScreenFocus=true
