It is precisely for full-screen games that alt-f4 is most important. 
With a windowed game, you can just click on the little x in the 
top-right corner of the window.  When a full-screen game is misbehaving, 
the user needs some way to regain control.  By convention, there are 
four ways:
   alt-f4: quit
   alt-enter: switch to windowed mode
   alt-tab: switch to another program
   ctrl-alt-del: task manager

There are some exceptional situations (e.g. emulators) where the 
standard conventions do not apply.  SDL /should/ support these 
exceptional situations.  However, a normal full-screen game has no 
excuse for ignoring the standard conventions.
