With the workaround I do have Al-TAB issues: If I try hit Alt-TAB, nothing seems to happen; on second Alt-TAB press the border of the fullscreen window flashes and I can then use desktop shortcuts (Here Win-F1 to switch desktop, or simply Alt-TAB). Eg Win-F1 is completely ignored unless I hit Alt-TAB first, Alt alone is not sufficient. When I get back to the desktop where FreeOrion is running, I can switch away immediately, as long as I did not click the game first, after which I'm back into the "locked" mode.
