Subject: glob2: No way to switch between full-screen and window mode during game

Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 12:18:54 +0100

Package: glob2
Version: 0.8.21-3
Severity: normal

There seems to be no way to switch between full-screen and window mode
arbitrarily at runtime.

The problem is that the system is unusable while the game is running in
full-screen mode, and the only way of accessing the X Window System
again is quitting the current game, and deselecting "Settings | Fullscreen"
or exiting the program.

I tried the usual key combinations (Alt-Enter, Alt-F, F, function keys, ...)
to no avail.

I chose severity "normal" over "minor", as this is quite annoying, when you
want to quickly check your e-mails or whatever and cannot do so without
quitting the game or the whole program.
