[PATCH] Grabbing the keyboard in X11 |

Hi,
At the moment, SDL grabs both the keyboard and mouse on X11 when SDL_SetWindowGrab() is called, but only grabs the mouse on win32 and other platforms. This means that Alt+Tab (and similar WM keys) don't work, which is a bit of a pain. While the old-style X11 fullscreen code (for WMs which aren't ICCCM-2.0 compliant) needs the keyboard grabbed, otherwise simply grabbing the mouse suffices. There are a couple of different ways of resolving this: allowing the user to grab the mouse and keyboard separately, perhaps with something like SDL_SetWindowGrab(w, SDL_GRAB_KEYBOARD | SDL_GRAB_MOUSE), or by simply making the X11 backend only grab the keyboard when in old-style fullscreen mode. I have implemented the latter --- the patch is attached --- and it seems to work quite well. What do you think the right way forward is?
