When watching videos in web browsers, I am often unable to maximize the video
to full screen. When I try to do so, picture either freezes or gets black,
while sounds keep playing, until I move to another virtual desktop and back.
Then the video plays again but still in window mode. I see the problem with
both Firefox and Epiphany, on various web sites (in particular
dailymotion.com.)

This is with Radeon HD 5450 hardware and the open source radeon driver, with or
without DPM. The same hardware didn't have the issue with openSUSE 12.3.

This happens under Gnome 3.10.1.

Apparently, in RussianFedora, there is a patch listed for this issue (which was confirmed to work on openSUSE 13.1 as well.. not seen any side effects yet).

Patch attached for reference.
