[SDL] SDL / Qtopia question

I just found your mail from Octobre 3. It seems, I should more often read
the SDL mailing list. But better late than never ;-)

You already fixed it? I can't find a new version of SDL Qtopiy on SDL cvs.

Yes, the screen rendering continues. How must the application handle the
lost focus? Is there a SDL event for lost focus? I think I must have a look on
the SDL documentation again soon.

A new version of the SDL with input grabbing and SDL_WM_IconifyWindow()
would be great. Please write when a new version is in the cvs.
