I don't think your problem was with the jaws window. Did you do an insert+t to see what window was in focus? I alt+tab and alt+shift+tab through the jaws window many times a day. Sometimes that's just a good way to get from point x to point y. I've never had the kind of problem you describe. Did you press the windows logo key, or control+escape? This should have taken you to the start menu. You could then escape from that, and press tab to your taskbar.
