Wow, that's usefull, thanks. :)

But we should anyhow implement such a ALT+Return key kombination
because you can't switch the application with the ALT+Tab key into a real 
window mode. 
This means, it is still running in some kind of fullscreen mode and not in a 
window, what if you want to use the sim in another resolution in the window 
mode than in the fullscreen mode or when the resolution of the desktop mode 
is smaller then the fullscreen (game) mode?

For example:
desktop: 1024*768
fullscreen: 1600*1280

Or:
desktop: 1024*768
fullscreen: 640*480

The Alt+Tab key kombination is also generally used for Window Manager/Desktop 
Environment specific things.
KDE uses Alt+Tab for example to switch beween Applications, but you can't 
switch the Application from a fullscreen mode into a real Desktop Window mode 
with this key kombination.
