GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 95670
fullscreen and gnome menu panel
Last modified: 2009-08-16 15:13:28 UTC
Some applications have a fullscreen mode and, with sawfish, the gnome menu panel remains on top, hidding part of the application. For example, see Mozilla and Totem. Some programs such as Xine and XMMS are ok. By the way, they all have a proper fullscreen mode with metacity.
currently it's unclear to me that having fullscreen windows always be on top is a good idea, e.g. I like to be able to M-TAB to windows under the fullscreen window..
I believe this is a duplicate of #92650 and that the problem that Stephane was reporting was that the gnome-panel was always on top. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 92650 ***
