command-tab

or if the app has crashed and all you see is a white screen (happened to me, also with Q3)

force quit, hit return -this should kill the active app.

Which version of X are you running? I though it was there under 10.0.4, but I am running 5G48/64, so I know it works with these systems.

Sure you are doing it right? This is the command that lets you select your active application in the dock. You can cycle through them this way, great trick for getting out of games that mess up.
