  This could require client colaboration. It won't help much if you
keep pressing esc, but your application is in full screen and waiting
to finish some time consuming renderization, probably with input devices
grabbed, and doesn't listen to the events.
  If the window manager can get that application out of full screen
mode, the problem should be easier to handle...
