Title:
  Tapping Alt should not open HUD in fullscreen games

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to Reproduce:
  Open Torchlight (may also happen with other games)
  In the settings, activate Fullscreen mode
  During gameplay, press and hold Alt to show items on the ground
  Release Alt
  Quickly tap Alt (do not hold it)

  What should happen:
  Item labels are displayed briefly

  What actually happens:
  The desktop is displayed with the HUD for Tochlight open

  When playing a game in fullscreen mode, (specifically Torchlight in
  this case, installed through the Software Centre), I tapped Alt as
  this is a control used by the game (See attached screencast for more
  details).  However, Unity picked up the keystroke and thought I wanted
  to open the HUD, minimizing the game and dropping me to the desktop.

  I then had to swich the game to windowed mode and back to fullscreen
  to carry on playing.

  This obviously shouldn't happen - if a user is playing a game in
  fullscreen, keystrokes that may represent game commands should be
  ignored by the desktop shell/window manager.
