Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As mentioned in #207, when running kinto on XFCE you need to update your keybindings to make window switching work on physical Alt-Tab instead of physical Win-Tab.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add information to the documentation mentioning this and have a message pop up as part of the installation or configuration process. As I understand it, kinto.py is being updated when XFCE is detected so this should be possible.

Yea, this may be more of a bug than anything - requiring the user to reset the value manually even though it is being set programmatically I would imagine.

Most of my XFCE testing has occurred under a chromebook - but that Alt key acting as Cmd would happen the same way regardless. I know there's no particular issue unless the initial setup fails to fully engage the remap for switching windows, which may be the case at times. Been a little while since I really messed with it though. I am getting back to it though.. right now even. Installing MX Linux on an old Dell Mini 9 w/ XFCE right now.. I have not yet installed Kinto on it but I will do that after I get some sleep lol.

ok well I'm really confused actually because I think the non-XFCE default would have worked fine with my XFCE installation, which is Xubuntu 20.10.

This is the settings in Window Manager after resetting everything to default:

I've changed my kinto.py to use the non-xfce settings and that works great.

I'm usung XFCE 4.14.

I think the original purpose for the difference was due to how my earlier xmodmap based kinto app was being handled - I would have thought I would have been able to get rid of that already under XFCE unless another conflict arose, so I will try and step through this and make sure it can be removed to align with the other DEs.
