OK, here's the deal: When in fullscreen mode, SDL runs with an X11 grab on the keyboard input, so the window manager never gets a chance to intervene. It does normal input processing in windowed mode, though. Unfortunately what you want (the ability to Alt-Tab from a full screen window in a custom video mode and get back to a desktop at normal resolution) is going to be really hard. Doing it right requires window manager involvement, since it is the only client that knows what the real desktop resolution is "supposed" to be. I suppose we could mimick the behavior by writing our own code to handle the unmap and focus events generated when the WM shift desktops or applications. But looking at the SDL source, I don't think it's ever going to do this. You can have resolution switching or desktop integration, but not both.
