This is extremely annoying when a fullscreen application crashes. Your average user who doesn't know about the Ctrl+Alt+PrntScrn+K and Ctrl+Alt+F1 tricks will assume that the operating system crashed which is about the most significant usability issue you could possibly have.
And even for the experienced user, you either have to Ctrl+Alt+PrntScrn+K back to the login screen and have all your applications terminate, or you have to go to a fullscreen shell, terminate the process, exit the shell, and return to X. All just because some user application entered an infinite loop. Bad, bad, bad design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388547 Title: Volume keys don't work inside a full-screen game Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Unknown Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I'm playing games in fullscreen mode, I cannot change the volume (laptop, HP tx2115nr with Jaunty) using my notebook keys.
