Hello,

I'm running vncviewer v3.3.7 under Ubuntu Linux.  I use the -fullscreen 
option, but it has a problem: if I hit Alt-Tab to switch windows while in 
fullscreen, it doesn't get sent through the VNC connection; instead, it 
Alt-Tabs on my local system.  The vncviewer fullscreen window stays on top, 
but focus moves to whatever other window(s) I have open at the time.

Furthermore, if I then Alt-Tab back to my vncviewer fullscreen window, I can 
no longer type into the window; whatever I type actually ends up in the 
terminal from which I launched the vncviewer command (on the local system). 
This also means that F8 no longer brings up the VNC popup menu, so the only 
thing that I can do (besides use the mouse remotely, which still works) is to 
press Ctrl-C to kill my vncviewer process.

Is this a bug in vncviewer?

Thanks,

Anthony DiSante
