Problem with fullscreen games/applications

[Valentin Crone]

On gnome-shell, when I start a game in fullscreen, it's frequent of:
- The mouse is on the game
- The keyboard is on the desktop

I can use the mouse on the game but not the keyboard because the input go to the desktop.

Try with Nexuiz or Xonotic for example, you have aproximately 8/10 chances to have the bug.
It's more frequent with Xonotic.

On fullscreen, it's also frequent to the top bar of GNOME Shell get the first plan, and go over the fullscreen application.
(With all application, example: Games, VLC, Totem, a fullscreen vidéo player on the web browser, etc..)

And, when I have a fullscreen application openened and when the shell menu is opened (because he is automaticaly opened), the fullscreen application doesn't not appear among all applications.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
