I sent this last week and never got a response. I take it, then, that no one has come up with a better workaround than ctrl-alt-f?
Nope, I've changed ctrl+alt+S/L to use different key combos (alt+S/L are used for special polish characters), but have had no luck with the un-auto fullscreen. However I have noticed that apparently spaces don't work in passwords (at least that's what my users are reporting, can't always duplicated it, but a single space as a password does appear to fail).
Cheers, MaZe.
