How to minimize fullscreen windowsin GNOME?
I have a GNOME Desktop running on my ArchLinux installation. Whenever I play a game that requires fullscreen (0ad; Awesomenauts) I cannot 'escape' from the game by pressing Alt+Tab or the Windows-key. (Whatever the word for it is on Linux machines 
)
How do I fix this?

afaik you can't
you can however start games in separate X server. Then you can use ctrl-alt-f* to switch between x servers.

Re: How to minimize fullscreen windowsin GNOME?
If you scroll up a few lines on the page ooo gave you, there is something about your problem.
IMO it should be reported as a bug to the game developers, unless it is a known Gnome bug… (I use Xfce myself.)

I have no problem Alt-Tabbing out of games. Might depend on the game.

Most likely, other full screen applications work fine.
