People who use netscape are used to using alt-leftarrow and alt-rightarrow
to move backwards and forwards in their page history. The present
windowmanagers binds alt-leftarrow and alt-rightarrow to something else.
Making all of the user's windows disappear when they try to move forwards
in netscape probably qualifies as confusing behavior. My suggestion
would to be to either remove the alt-{left,right}arrow windowmanager
commands altogether, or else to put them on less-commonly used keys.
(Perhaps shift-alt-arrow, or perhaps alt-numpadarrow.)
