Hello.
By the way, I really hate when I can`t alt+tab from the fullscreen
window. It violates my freedom to pause the game and, e.g. answer to
urgent Jabber message.
Why no one can use the following snippet:
void sendFullscreenEvent(Display* display, Window win)
{
if (win != None && win != DefaultRootWindow(display))
{
Atom atomFullscreen = XInternAtom(display, "_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN",
True);
Atom atomState = XInternAtom(display, "_NET_WM_STATE", True);
XClientMessageEvent event;
event.type = ClientMessage;
event.serial = 0;
event.send_event = True;
event.window = win;
event.message_type = atomState;
event.format = 32;
event.data.l[0] = 1;
event.data.l[1] = atomFullscreen;
event.data.l[2] = 0;
XSendEvent(display, DefaultRootWindow(display), False,
SubstructureRedirectMask | SubstructureNotifyMask,
(XEvent*)&event);
XFlush(display);
}
}
It is easy, and the user will not be "locked".
I was very annoyed about this, so I`ve written a small tool, that does
the right thing instead of lazy developers.
Here is the link: https://github.com/bazhenovc/fullscreenize
Hope it will be useful.

All,
As you probably know, "unredirecting" fullscreen windows is the
primary solution for making fullscreen gaming as fast as possible
under Compiz/Unity.
So I'm happy to announce that this feature is now turned on by
default. The switch has been flicked in these Compiz releases:
0.9.7.12 for precise (due in release 12.04.2, January)
0.9.8.6 for quantal (work in progress for an SRU)
0.9.9.0 for raring (already released in raring updates)
Limitations: The driver stability problems observed with nouveau and
intel on precise have only been worked around. If Compiz finds
you're using nouveau or intel with Mesa 8.0 then the feature will be
disabled. You can configure this blacklist in CCSM > OpenGL.
Any issues? Then please log a bug in Launchpad. I am on vacation
till January so will not reply to emails.
Happy gaming and happy holidays.
- Daniel
