i'd like to access the zoom keys in a SDL/SDL_gles app (the 3d globe
i uploaded to extras-devel).

The odd thing is that my solution only partly works. Some key presses actually
reach my app as function key presses, but still most of them reach the volume
control. So when repeatedly pressing the zoom buttons my app zooms but also
the volume is changed.

I am using the following code which is inspired by code from scummvm. I am calling this code once immediately after the SDL setup is done.

Any idea why this still delivers some key events to the volume control?

It could be that _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW or MB_CURRENT_APP_WINDOW on the root
window does not correspond to your window.  The volume app is tracking
one of these (I think _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW) to determine the window whose
ZOOM_KEY window property matters.

Maemo SDL doesn't seem to set all required window properties for
fullscreen windows for tracking of the topmost application to work
properly.  See this bug:
  https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6175#c3

"xprop -root" produces this when there's a fullscreen SDL window:
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3e00002
_MB_CURRENT_APP_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3e00001

I.e. for SDL applications the value in these properties differ,
unlike for normal applications.

_MB_CURRENT_APP_WINDOW is the fullscreen SDL window and
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW is the non-fullscreen SDL window.

(I think SDL uses fullscreen window for output and non-fullscreen
one for input.)
