i'm sure this is a bug, the keyboard should not be claimed. and the
other bug is that nobody who uses compiz on gnome seems to use keyboard
on second xscreen .. :)
but to be sure: your keyboard works on second xscreen when compiz disabled?
perhaps we should spam our bug-report to attract some attention on
similiar bug-reports... 0_O

So, if initially is claimed by the first screen, when I'm making the smplayer fullscreen, then the second screen claims the keyboard. Until then (until making the smplayer window fullscreen), even if the mouse is on the second screen and I click on a window on the second screen, any keyboard input is still sent to the first screen.
