Keyboard shortcuts not working in SuperTuxKart 0.8.1 in Ubuntu 12.04

[Kajetan]

When I play SuperTuxKart fullscreen I can not use any keyboard shortcuts. Only Ctrl+Alt+[1-7] are working.
Ctrl and Alt keys seem to be ignored; when I press Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Key to switch between workspaces the menues are selected as if I would only press the arrow keys. This also applies when I use Unity2D.
However, when I don't play it fullscreen everything works perfectly.

I have not noticed any problems in other fullscreen applications yet.

version of SuperTuxKart: 0.8.1 (I use ppa:stk/dev; output of 'apt-cache policy pkgname' is further below)
version of Irrlicht: 1.8.0
version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (via lsb_release -rd)
(window manager: compiz)
version of compiz: 0.9.7.12
(version of Kernel: 3.11.0-18)

$ apt-cache policy supertuxkart

It's actually not a bug, but the fullscreen method which was used. Now, since version 0.9 we are using WM fullscreen and keyboard shortcuts should work without issues. So this bug report can be closed.

For STK 0.8.1 you can use my bug-fix branch:
