This field determines among other things whether a window can be fullscreened. So what happens is: - Application creates a _NET_WM_TYPE_NORMAL window with a transient parent - compiz decides that the internal type for such a window is 'dialog' because of the transient parent - Application tries to fullscreen window - Compiz denies this, since it doesn't think dialogs should be fullscreened - The next time compiz looks at the window, it sees that it has the FULLSCREEN state set, causing it to decide that the window should have internal type 'Fullscreen' - At this point, fullscreening *is* allowed. Net result: the first time the preview window is shown it won't be fullscreened; the second time it will. -- Additional comment from sandmann on 2006-11-09 15:50 EST -- Upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8958 -- Additional comment from sandmann on 2006-11-13 11:18 EST -- Patch from David Reveman added in .33.el5
