That was the original gtk implementation... unfortunately, those  
shortcuts are consumed by some other controls, which led to bugs about  
tab switching getting 'stuck' in some dialogs when you switched to a  
tab on which one of those controls was focused (e.g. <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90938 
>).

Since then, gtk has also implemented Alt+PgUp/PgDn, which is less  
convenient but does work everywhere:

Cheeri,
Calum.
