That's precisely what we're using on both Linux and Mac (10.7+ only I think, don't sue me). It's just that the window manager sometimes decides not to position the window at (0, 0) :roll:

Normal SDL fullscreen ALT-TABs beautifully on Windows provided you use the GDI video driver, so we force that and we haven't had issues there at all.

Actually even with fullscreen SDL on linux it tends to ALT-TAB properly, provided you go to steam overlay first. :)

I'm coming veeeeery late here, but since the problem still exists, here's a solution that gives an alt-tabbable fullscreen game. After launching the game, type the following :

Code: Select all

xdotool search --name 'Unity of Command' windowmove 0 0


Works very well for me. You may have to alt-tab to the game twice to have it working, but after that it's just fine and works how it should. You may have to install the xdotool package.
