It appears when I move the application into full-screen mode - I cannot enter text into a text box control. It seems that the keyboard events are being ignored. I have found an article here (http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/t/142460.aspx) documenting the same problem.

I also have read that in Silverlight 4 if an application is trusted then keyboard events will be captured. In the mean time is there anyway I can do this i.e. with Silverlight-3? From what I've seen no!

Or say in the future is there anyway to allow non-trusted applications to have keyboard events fire in full screen mode?

No, you cannot do this in SL3, and you will only be able to do this in SL4 in an out-of-the-browser, trusted application.

It is a security issue, so this will never be allowed. If you could draw the whole screen, you could make the user think the machine look like it needed a password to be entered (for instance, their system password, or their google password).

Yeah I had a feeling it was a bit of a security issue!! In the end the application was designed so that it came out of full screen automatically if certain actions were taken.
