Public bug reported:

This bug happens on Ubuntu Dapper 64-bit running the GNOME desktop
environment.  I have not tested it on Edgy or KDE.

When running some full screen games, the ALT+TAB shortcut will not
minimize the window and you are forced to exit in order to return to the
desktop.  Full screen games I have found this to be true in include
Tremulous (www.tremulous.net), Nexuiz (www.nexuiz.com), Wolfenstein
Enemy Territory, and Unreal Tournament 2004
(http://www.unrealtournament.com/ut2004/).

TO REPRODUCE THIS BUG:

1.  Open up one of the above listed games.    
2.  Attempt to minimize the game with the ALT + TAB shortcut.
