Description of problem: (I use a 2 screen Xinerama system.) XawTV has problems switching to fullscreen mode as Metacity prevents it from using some space the Gnome panel uses on the other screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.81-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start XawTV. 2. Press f for fullscreen mode. 3. Looks ugly... Actual Results: XawTV is unable to reserve full screen for fullscreen mode. Expected Results: XawTV should be able to reserve full screen for fullscreen mode. Additional info: Compiling XawTV from latest Sources (http://bytesex.org/xawtv/xawtv_3.85.tar.gz) solves the problem. That version seems to be capable of using Metacity fullscreen mode.
i have upgraded to 3.85. It should be available in next rawhide release.
