Title: [WIP] Alt-Tab enhancements

This is my ongoing project to enhance the Alt-Tab experience. I invite anyone interested to try it out and comment.

The main feature, which is the result of valuable input from @cobinja, is that the **previews and thumbnails now include the dialogs that a window may be showing**, thus giving a more accurate picture of a window's state. Other features are:

* It is now possible to switch workspace left or right in Alt-Tab mode by pressing CTRL and the left or right arrow key.
* [Preview mode] Smoother transition between previews.
* [Thumbnail mode] Delay creating thumbnails, to facilitate quick tabbing without a thumbnail popping up for each icon.

Current status: Work in progress. Technically, this is working fine, but I would appreciate feedback, especially on the timing aspects.
