Description Bastien Nocera 2011-07-11 14:48:45 UTC 
1. Launch a web browser (such as Firefox)
2. Go to page with an embedded media plugin such as: http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/mov/embed_stream.php
3. Select fullscreen in the right-click menu
4. Try to Alt-Tab away from the fullscreen window

The window will appear as a separate application, with a crummy icon, though it actually is a separate window for the web browser, and is parented to it (it should be impossible to get the web browser back without unfullscreening the plugin).

I assume that by "fullscreen browser plugins" you mean specifically the Totem one. When I xprop it's window I don't see WM_TRANSIENT_FOR. So how are we supposed to associate it with Firefox?

Well, colour me red, I was certain we were already doing that.

Fixed in totem itself in gnome-3-0 and master. Thanks.

    browser-plugin: Parent the fullscreen window correctly
    
    So that it doesn't show up as a separate application in gnome-shell.
