I have the same problem. After much tinkering, I found out that running a inferior resolution than that of the desktop, I can run full screen until the screen-saver tries to come on, then the game goes windowed. Running at full resolution, the game goes to windowed mode immediately. I think these two bugs might be related to the previously mentioned bug #216322. I am running intrepid 8.10 i386 fully updated 2.6.27-7 kernel.
