Jehan,
Use ALT-Tab and you can get (back) to the full-screen X server window.
Personally, I like this. The details of the comings and goings of the
full-screen X window are perhaps not ideal, but it's nice that it goes away
totally when it's not in front and that I really get the full extent of the
monitor without any window frame / border and controls.

Hi,
I'm on Win2k SP5. I use XFree in fullscreen mode via the DOS batch file.In
a specific case, XWin is never showing:
1. Launch XWin via the batch (didn't try via the sh script) in fullscreen mode
2. Before the XWin screen shows up, click on another window (this moves
the focus from XWin to that window)
3. Notice that at some point the window you clicked on loses it's focus
(blue titlebar becomes gray)
4. Notice that at the same time, the mouse cursor get centered on the
screen (as XWin would have done)
5. Notice the X window never shows up and that no XWin button appears in
the taskbar.
6. Open the task manager, XWin is running.
result: there is no way to go in XWin (no taskbar button) nor any to close
it (as opposed to kill it)
I can reproduce this bug any time following those steps.
