Bug Description
Seemingly randomly while playing I was getting the game to minimize. The cause appears to be gnome-screensaver.
To reproduce. Change screensaver to activate every 1 mintue.
Run Armagetron - About 1 minute later the game is going to be minimized.
To not reproduce. Turn Screensaver off.
Run Armagetron - Notice it does not minimize.

This appears to be either a bug in the gnome screensaver or SDL; SDL is supposed to disable the screensaver while an application is running in fullscreen mode. It appears to use the XSetScreenSaver command correctly, so I'd blame the screensaver: The gnome screensaver appears to be an external program that ignores XSetScreenSaver changes.
As a workaround, I let the game NOT iconify itself when it receives the deactivation event.
