I've no good idea how to solve this problem.  The mouse goes wandering all over
the screen, and it's very easy to end up giving the focus away.

The problem only arises, I guess, when the application thinks it's full screen
but is being run in a virtual desktop.  Is there some way for the application
to gain exclusive capture of mouse events so that mouse clicks don't get sent
to other applications?  Of course, this would mean that it's *impossible* to
click away from the application, you'd have to use a desktop manager key
binding (eg Alt-Tab).
