Bug Description

Whilst Canola is running, using <alt><tab> to move to another application results in Canola still holding on to the keyboard focus so effectively it keyboard doesn't work with the new focused application.

Happens if you run the application on fullscreen mode. To workaround this problem we added a patch to Ecore to prevent applications of getting all the focus while running on fullscreen. Don't know if it is the best option in this case, as it would affect all applications based on the Ecore library.

Also, I'm not really sure about the behavior of GTK+ based applications while in fullscreen. I remember that the same happens with Evince at least, when you run "Presentation mode"
