Summary: xine doesn't release focus on exit

Initial Comment:
When exiting xine-ui, xine-ui doesn't release the window 
focus (or similar). After exiting xine, no window has 
focus. 
 
This can be seen when running xine on kde (3.2.2, 
latest): 
 
1. start any program 
2. start xine(-ui), fucos it 
3. quit xine 
4. now window focus is gone. alt+tab doesn't help, only 
clicking with the mouse does. 
 
I reported this to the kde team; they said they would 
make their window manager handle this better, but 
actually the application should somehow return/release 
window focus, which xine-ui obviously doesn't do.

I think this shift-key-thing should be filed as a new bug as
it's clearly not related to this one ("xine doesn't return
focus after exiting").

xine should stop Shift key event generation in at least the
following cases :
* xine is iconified
* xine is paused

Ah, OK, I see. Indeed xine seems to be generating Shift key
presses even when it doesn't have focus (that's the whole
purpose of it after all).

However xine should at least stop the Shift press generation
when it's paused. Sometimes I pause a movie to do something
else and the Shift key is still messed up by xine.

I had the impression that the Shift key remains messed up
even after quitting xine, but I guess I'm wrong on this one.
After all I don't see how xine could possibly mess up the
Shift key *after* exiting...

The last comment (shift key problem) might be related to the
little "hack" that xine does to avoid a screensaver: it
simulates a left shift key press every 30 seconds.
The reason for this is that in most desktop environments,
screensevers are operated differently, and thus there is no
central method of keeping them from turning on.
Note that I'm not a xine developer and only read this
"somewhere" :)

There's no discussion xine shouldn't give focus back to any
window. However it seems to be grabbing the mouse, messing
with they keyboard or something like that. You should make
sure this doesn't happen.

Concerning the Shift key problem, it doesn't work properly
while running xine and even after leaving xine. By "not
working properly", I mean the following:
* Run xine under KDE.
* Move the mouse to a different window such as a konsole window.
* Hit the Shift key and keep it pressed.
* First all works well, konsole displays capital letters
when I press the keys.
* Then suddenly the system seems to forget that the Shift
key is being pressed. It switches to small letters.

This is not a keyboard problem, I have tried on many
machines with different keyboards. I've verified I don't
depress the Shift key by accident.

Happens with Fedora Core 1.

I've just added in CVS a fix to made C-Tab working after quit.

Duh! 
xine can't give focus back to a window, imagine the previously 
focused window has been destroyed. 
About the Shift key problem, can you tell us more ? 
 
Cheers.

The Shift key doesn't work properly after having run xine
under KDE. I guess it's related.
