I too have ran into fullscreen applications where it would be convenient if the ctrl+return alt+tab or ctr+shift+esc or ctr+alt+backspace either (respectively) minimized, tabbed to the desktop or other window, killed the current fullscreen app, or brought up a task manager GUI to easily kill misbehaving apps that are taking up the full screen and grabbing the keymaps...
This mainly happened after an update broke my alsa + pulseaudio to where I had to follow these instructions http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1395089 to get it fixed But now, every time I load an application the volume is set too low to hear and I need to re-adjust it. This is when I noticed that there is currently no way to exit some fullscreen games without closing the program. At least a few (such as World of Goo) allowed me to alt+return to window the application, but unfortunately some FOSS developers are not as thoughtful as 2Dboy apparently... -- No non-destructive way for a normal user to escape frozen full-screen apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537137 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
