Yes, it is. You can actually have anything open though. Task manager works well for me.

you can't alt-tab to nothing.

Matbe what you want is windowsbutton-D which minimizes everything and sends you to the desktop.

Alt-Enter is typically more effective.

I crash when trying to exit about 25% of the time. It used to be able to be fixed with the Task Manager. Now I have to reboot my computer because the client will not let anything else through.

But like I said, it's about 25% of the time. Out of that it is most common when I choose "Log Off" and "Exit".

I run in full-window mode instead of full screen and can alt-tab out with no problem.

I've never had a problem with Alt tab in fullscreen or windowed (don't use full windowed mode)

Alt tab should switch to the desktop if no other programs are open.

This happens for me if I don't have any other application open. I always have to open TS3 or Spotify before. Otherwise I have to close the client to open another app.

Perhaps it works differently for each of us. Mine works only on full-screen.
