Open Arena switches to windowed mode randomly - steals X inputs

Status in “openarena” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: openarena

Hardware:  Dell Vostro E4300

Video Card:  Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller
Bus Type: PCI

Video Driver:  "intel - Experiment modesetting..." (I can't get the rest of the driver information from the gui).

Problem:  Video switches to windowed mode while retaining the mouse and keyboard.  The mouse and keyboard do not control the game, but they are not available to X either (making it impossible to quit the game through the menu).  This happens randomly while playing and has no discernible cause.

Workaround:  ctrl+alt+backspace does not work, but ctrl+alt+f1 does work.  Switching to terminal and doing 

ps -ef | grep arena
kill <pid from above>

restores X to a working state instantly.

After killing the game relaunching it is not bugged.
