Subject: [PATCH] Preference to open the switchpanel without selecting a
 window.

If the new preference SwitchPanelOnlyOpen is set to YES, pressing
alt-tab or similar shortcut will only open the panel without
automatically switching to the next window.  Shortcuts will continue to
function normally once the panel is open.

Users can enable the new preference if they find themselves regularly
opening the switchpanel just to visualise which windows are open, or to
initiate same-class cycling.

The default value of the new preference is NO.  Behaviour is unchanged
unless the preference is explicitly enabled with the following command:

  $ wdwrite WindowMaker SwitchPanelOnlyOpen YES
