Parts of what you mention seem to be true bugs (e.g, vncviewer losing
focus).  But I was DELIGHTED to find that the window manager bindings
are disabled while vncviewer is running in fullscreen mode.  The
reason?  I have another window manager running inside vncserver on the
remote machine, and I want all of my hotkeys etc. to make it through to
the "inner" window manager.  Without this feature the utility of VNC
would be greatly diminished for me because I would effectively have to
define two sets of hotkeys--one for the local X session and one that
gets passed through to the vncserver.  So please, please continue to
have vncviewer gobble up all events (except F8) when it is in fullscreen
mode!
