I do notice differences between actual fullscreen and windowed fullscreen,
though.  Windowed fullscreen allows me to alt+tab to different programs; with
actual fullscreen, I have to switch to a different virtual desktop if I want to
use other programs (alt+tab doesn't do any switching).  At least, that's how it
seemed to work when I tried the different modes a couple of days ago.

It does make sense that the bug has something to do with the window state, and
it's possible that it could be losing direct focus in some sense of the word -
I'm just not quite so sure just yet, personally, because e17 tends to be pretty
strict about windows that don't have focus behaving very differently.  Heck, I
even have it set to make unfocused windows translucent, and I've never seen GW2
go translucent all of a sudden.  On the other hand, though, I think e17 shuts
down compositing when anything is running fullscreen.

So all I'm really saying is that it doesn't work *exactly* like the game has
lost focus.  Maybe it loses partial focus, returns partial control of the mouse
cursor to the window manager, or something like that.  That would make sense.

I'm planning to try a few more environments (including an empty X session)
after work - I'll post back with any results.  I'm not expecting much, but I am
pretty sure that at least some people just don't experience this bug, based on
the lack of comments we're getting about it on the AppDB - maybe the window
manager has something to do with it.  I might have to install *cringe* KDE or
*shudder* GNOME to see if the popular DEs somehow work.

On the other hand, it might just be that most people don't use mouselook
constantly.

> I'm using xfwm4 btw.

I'm using enlightenment DR17.  Side note: are you using focus follows mouse,
focus under mouse, or click to focus?  I'm using focus follows mouse (i.e. the
most recent window that I moused over is focused - e17 calls this "most recent
window under mouse" or "sloppy" focus).

Again, I'm thinking in terms of how seldom people are commenting on the issue
on the AppDB, but could the issue be related to that setting?  Still seems
unlikely to me; it's just a thought.
