That sentence catched my eye .. ofc :)

- I assume you use the latest JOGL version ?

- Can you provide qualifying information (FAQ -> Bug Report),
  incl. your window manager setup etc ?

- Can you provide a simple test case, so we can reproduce your case
  and understand the issue better ?

Until now, both worked pretty well under Linux (mind bug 502 though),
keyboard codes and fullscreen.

Actually Linux/X11 is the 1st dev platform :)

Sorry that you have those issues, please provide above information.
