I experience the same problem at times, but for a known reason - sometimes an application makes a pop-up dialog (like from the notification area), and that forces the game out of fullscreen. After that, I have the full control of the keyboard, but not the mouse - making getting back into the game a very hard thing. Basically alt+tab a whole bunch of times before the game realizes and goes back properly.

I'll give this a try with compiz off, maybe that'll help.
