When the video game is in window mode, Alt+Tab doesn't work again...
I plug a new USB keyboard but Alt+Tab doesn't work again...
The video game hasn't a little text console (pressing "~"), so Alt+Tab doesn't
work again...
So the only thing I can do is to open two X sessions (see below).
But why I lose the keyboard and mouse events on the first X session ?
