When I start mythfrontend on my gnome 2.16 with the compiz 0.3.6 window manager. The MythTV window is fullscreen, but the gnome panels are visible in front of it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start needed services (mysql, mythbackend) 2. start mythfrontend as user (in X) Actual Results: The gnome panels do not disappear although MythTV is in fullscreen mode. Expected Results: Gnome panels are not visible
The same bug with kde and beryl here. kpanel is in front of mythtv fullscreen
it's probably the way panels are rendered as an always on top thing.
This happens with every full screen app for me. I believe it's how OpenGL is handled by the X server differently then X window objects. I don't believe there's any way to fix do to the nature of X.
Mplayer works fine on my computer.
Have you tested compiz 0.6?
