[Bug 63245] Re: Cannot alt + tab out of fullscreen games
Hi, I just found a way to ALT-TAB from Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory to the Gnome Desktop. Here's how : (1) Switch to Windowed Mode : pressing Alt-Enter usually works (2) Activate the console : by pressing the ` (backtick?) key (3) Now you can press ALT-TAB to your Gnome Desktop I don't know why, but my guess is activating the console also releases its grab on mouse keyboard. So then you can ALT-TAB to your desktop. Since Wolfenstein is based on Quake-engine; my guess is you can do this trick too on other games based on that engine.

Though this bug report is quite old already I still hope there can be a fix sometime. This bug is associated with metacitiy, but it affects KWin and any other window manager that I know and tried some time ago as well, so I assume that the place to fix it might be Xorg, rather than the window manager, but in the second case I'd hope for a solution for Kwin as well. -- Cannot alt + tab out of fullscreen games https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: This bug happens on Ubuntu Dapper 64-bit running the GNOME desktop environment. I have not tested it on Edgy or KDE. When running some full screen games, the ALT+TAB shortcut will not minimize the window and you are forced to exit in order to return to the desktop.

TO REPRODUCE THIS BUG: 1. Open up one of the above listed games. - 2. Attempt to minimize the game with the ALT + TAB shortcut. - (nothing happens) + 2.

[Bug 63245] Re: Cannot alt + tab out of fullscreen games
It would be nice to have standard, non-hacky way of minimizing fullscreen windows, maybe built-in metacity or similar approach. I've been using patched libsdl library which prevents key-grabbing of ALT+TAB and does the minimize stuff, but this only works for few games (which use libsdl). +1 from me. -- Cannot alt + tab out of fullscreen games https://launchpad.net/bugs/63245 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
