Mouse grab and multiple desktops

Hello,
I am not a newbie but its sort of a newbie question so here goes. Note=
, these=20
are PHYSICAL X desktops, not the kde virtual ones.

I run multiple desktops (seperate kde 3.3 desktops, not xinerama). Is t=
here=20
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 na=
viagate=20
to desktop 2, and then back to #1 where I would click and the app would=
=20
re-grab the mouse. Think VMWare if any of you have used it, except with=
=20
native fullscreen SDL apps.

Thanks

ONE X server with two video cards. CTRL-ALT- F(n) will obviously cause =

my desktop to go away ;)=20
