Minimizing fullscreen apps

I seem to be having trouble on KDE 3.5, Mandriva 2009.1. At the moment I have a dual-monitor setup where each monitor runs a separate X session, so I can play a game fullscreen while I have IM, music, browser, and whatever other tasks on the other monitor. If I have it set as Twinview, fullscreen games black out both monitors. But anyway, that's not really my problem. The problem is that I can't get out of the game to do anything on the second monitor without completely exiting. None of the KDE shortcuts for changing desktops (ctrl-tab), switching windows (alt-tab) or shortcuts I added for minimize and shade will do anything. Any ideas how I could get the game to either minimize or release mouse control? Quite a few of the games I'm interested in using don't allow windowed play, so that unfortunately isn't an option.
