Video window losing focus in full-screen mode is a pain.

Hi,

First,  let me say it's great to see a media player that uses standard
controls and keeps the window manager borders.  There is nothing I hate
more than skins and missing borders.  Keep up the good work guys.

Now for the problem...

When the video window is in full-screen mode and it loses focus (e.g.
when another window grabs it), there are certain circumstances that
prevent it from ever regaining focus (or making regaining focus
non-obvious as you can't see underneath the video overlay).  Since the
video overlay is on top of everything else and you can't focus it to
un-full-screen...

Is there some way that the video window can be made to never loose
focus while in full screen mode?  Or should I be looking at my window
manager's (sawfish) configuration?

Alternatively (and probably a better idea), how about switching to
non-full-screen when the video window looses focus.  This would have
the added advantage of seeing the new window that just popped up.

Another (minor point):  In the FAQ (question 39) you mention turning
off kscd.  The same issue occurs with the GNOME CD player applet.
