Bug Description
When Stellarium is running in its normal full screen mode and the user tries to use Alt+Tab to switch between tasks:
- on Windows, Stellarium's whole screen remains visible, suppressing all other windows, but it loses the focus of control to them. As a result the screen starts to flicker.
- on Ubuntu, Stellarium remains responsive, but is moved to the background, below the other windows and the desktop manager's panels, remaining in full screen mode.

For a moment I thought that I've solved it, but from what I've seen so far, on Windows the issue seems to appear and disappear. It is consistent within a session, which means that if the first time the window minimizes OK, all the next time it will be OK. The issue may appear again the next time Stellarium is started.
Some users reported that they experience a "flashing screen" issue that follows the same pattern - consistent within a session.
Is it possible that this is some kind of thread conflict?
