In many full-screen applications, multimedia keyboard keys (e.g. volume up/down, mute, etc.) seem to get locked by the application and not passed through to the desktop manager. This makes it impossible to, for example, adjust or mute the system volume while playing a full-screen game.

Observed in Ubuntu & Xubuntu 10.04/10.10/11.04/11.10. See related URL for long-standing Ubuntu bug report.
