(Get the code!)
So it is a limitation of X.org? I think that we have 2 types of
fullscreen apps here:
- "Fake" fullscreen: Wine apps, Firefox, Totem. They don't grab the
keyboard. Basically, they hide the window decoration and fill the screen
with the window.
- "True" fullscreen: Games. They grab the keyboard control, so Gnome
can't do anything. If an app like this crashes, you can't even call
System Monitor to kill it (like ctrl + alt + del in Windows).
Would be nice if the Games had the same behaviour than the other
programs.
