Bug Description
In some apps there seems to be no way to "Alt + Tab" back to the desktop once you are in it.
Examples are Nexuiz and Tree Worlds.
Alt+Tab would not work, the mouse could not get out of the game window, nothing worked.
The example with Nexuiz was I managed to get into a state where the Quit buttons just returned you form the menu to the game.
And tree worlds was full-screen, I accidentally selected the wrong language and got stuck somewhere, I spammed random keys until F2 brought up the terminal for the game and luckily the command "quit" worked.
Stuck in the game, unable to escape to the desktop.
Is there a way we could sandbox apps or something, prevent them from over-riding these System key-bindings.
