This unfortunately does not work if the full screen window is the
only window.

We could extend the Ctrl-Alt-Escape sequence we already use for
similar purposes.  In addition to what it already does, it would
call a "Quarantaine" function that quanrantaines the window under
the pointer.  Ideally the function would

 * Remove the window from the desktop, perhaps by iconifying it.
   The window must be unmapped to ensure it can not cause further
   damage on the desktop.

 * Show a reprensentation of all windows in quarantaine and allow
   the user to end the quarantaine by clicking on the placeholder.
