Fullscreen applications can be minimised, just not by pressing a HW key.
We have D-Bus interface in hildon-desktop that can be used to ask HD to
go to the switcher (see below).  We will also have a HW key shortcut
(ctrl+backspace) for that.  There will be also possibility to kill the
application from power key menu.

D-Bus session bus
interface: com.nokia.hildon_desktop
signal name: exit_app_view

You probably need to add a button to your UI to emit that D-Bus signal.
