After the Fall - no command-tab

It seems that After the Fall doesn't respect command-tab to switch to another app in MacOSX. It seems to work with most other fullscreen PyWeek games -- is it something After the Fall is doing, or is it a general characteristic of pyglet?

it also seems to "eat" alt-tab in xfce on linux. luckily i have a second monitor on my system. it does briefly bring up the frame of other windows, so i believe the aggressive full-screen mode is specific to this game.

If a pyglet app calls
window.set_exclusive_mouse(True)
then this behavoir is known (see the pyglet manual at programming_guide\mouse_exclusivity.html )
Greping the relevant part in the app gives no hit, but maybe another pyglet call in the app chained to .set_exclusive_mouse

I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'm pretty sure we didn't do it on purpose.

Oh, also, if this is really a problem for whatever reason, you can run After The Fall with -w to run in a window.
