Easy nood question.

Fairly new to linux, ive been playing a game called americas army, and i sometimes have to exit out to tell me friends what server im playing on, I would prefure just to minimize it though, Alt-Tab is overrided by the game :( are there any ways to force the game to minimize?

You could, like me, set some keyboard shorcuts for swiching to another desktop, so when you want to minimize the game just change to another desktop instead and after that no problem to use your computer even if the game is still running.

how do you go about doing that? i get the same thing running Wine with Steam, and that would be very convient for switching songs etc..

alt+enter minimizes the window
ctrl+alt+g releases the mouse
alt+enter put's it back to fullscreen

Thank you very much :-) Using Linux for 5+ years, and I learn something every day ;)
