I am playing a game in a window, I receive an instant message, pause, want to reply, but cannot because all my keypresses are handled by the game and then discarded, so no alt+tab, and the mouse pointer cannot leave the game window. Is there a way to take the focus away from those SDL windows?</p>atillaThu, 13 May 2010 20:45:21 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/565/mouse-pointer-gets-trapped-in-game-windowssdlgamemousealt-tabwindow-focus
