To clarify further.
In RTCW:ET I have binded shift, ctrl, alt, caps, tab and half of the keyboards left side. I often press ctr/alt/shift/some keys combinations. Probably one of them makes gnome do something ... when its running full-screen libsdl game and shouldnt be listening to the keyboard in the first place :(. Of course there is no way to edit/disable those magic gnome shortcuts (at least not in the options).
Also the "I can move the mouse pointer" means I see a mouse pointer and can move it on game screen, but the normal Q3 engine based games behaviour is _no cursor_ + _mouse moves around your in game view-port_.
It acts EXACTLY as if it was windowed + open console. When Q3 engine
based games are windowed + console open the rest of the system can use
the mouse and keyboard, but with console closed ONLY libsdl gets the
keystrokes (or should get).
I also tried playing windowed for 4h, keyboard hijacking never happened.
So this is one obscure bug :(. Its either libsdl or gnome.
