Public bug reported:
Some full-screen apps disable commands such as ALT+F4, ALT+TAB and
CTRL+ALT+Arrow Key, making it impossible to navigate off them if they
freeze. This means that the machine must be forcefully rebooted (unless
CTRL+ALT+Backspace is enabled - but even that isn't the ideal solution).
Either allow ALT+F4 to work all the time on any active window, create a
SHIFT+ALT+F4 as a command for *end process* or create some sort of
Windows CTRL+ALT+DELETE style menu which overrides any running app and
allows it to be forcefully closed.
I feel this is especially important at the moment, as there are many
linux apps such as games which do frequently experience these sorts of
problems. Even though it is the app's fault, it looks as though it it
Ubuntu which has crashed when none of these commands work (even though
it usually hasn't crashed, it just doesn't respond to those specific
commands).
