Details

Description:
Marco window manager (Mate Desktop default WM) does not retain control of some fullscreen apps/games like smokinguns (or older version of saurbraten like 2013_02_03_collect_edition or older, but seems to be fixed in newer 2020 sauerbraten version)

Additional info:
* package version(s): all (since the days of gnome2 as far as I remember, before the fork)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report: https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/issues/616

Steps to reproduce:
Start games like smokinguns-git (AUR) in full screen mode.
Try switching apps with Alt+Tab => fails because the game prevents that by grabbing focus by force, marco WM should not allow that
This task depends upon
