Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

eog grabs keyboard input while in full-screen mode. This is annoying on a multi-screen display, when I'd like to be looking at a picture full-screen on screen :0.1, and typing on screen :0.2.

What version of Ubuntu do you use? Is there any way to trigger the bug without using a multiscreen setup? Doing ctrl-alt-left change desktop correctly in fullscreen mode

Ctrl+alt-left ignores the ctrl+alt and just changes the picture, it even does this if another program has focus on another screen.

I'm using feisty on a duel screen, I'll try on Hardy/single screen when I get home tonight.

Let me know what other information you need.
