Mouse grab and multiple desktops

Mouse grab and multiple desktops

[Eric Bambach]

Hello,
 I am not a newbie but its sort of a newbie question so here goes. Note, these 
are PHYSICAL X desktops, not the kde virtual ones.

I run multiple desktops (seperate kde 3.3 desktops, not xinerama). Is there 
either

Some key combonation that will switch desktops?
ex. Working in desktop 1, push ctrl-foo -> mouse and context jumps to #2

Or

Some key combonation that universally releases a mouse from SDL apps?
ex. Some games grab the mouse and I want to be able to release it to naviagate 
to desktop 2, and then back to #1 where I would click and the app would 
re-grab the mouse. Think VMWare if any of you have used it, except with 
native fullscreen SDL apps.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, perhaps my situation wasn't clear. It is two screens on 
ONE X server with two video cards. CTRL-ALT- F(n) will obviously cause both 
my desktop to go away ;)
