gnome panels displayed running wine apps and full screen apps with desktop effects enabled.

Does clicking on the fullscreen window help?

That used to be the case but not anymore since the updates.

I have an Intel 915 graphic card and it isn't possible to play a 3D game in Wine with enabled compiz. The panels always stay on top and the desktop goes black but you see nothing.

still a problem?

This is still a problem here with Ubuntu 8.10. I'm using newest Nvidia-drivers, but as unggnu mentions this doesn't seem to be nvidia specific bug.

Still a problem for me using Intrepid also. Does anyone have more information about this bug? All I found was this at the compiz forums: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=7029

I'd like to know exactly what the problem is and whether anybody has a "plan" yet to solve the issue...if not I might investigate and see if I can fix it myself because it's *really* annoying me now.

Can you guys please try if this is a problem in Jaunty, too? Please download one of the daily live-CDs

Seems like the situation with Jaunty is better. If application is opened fullscreen with same resolution as desktop panel is hidden, but if resolution differs panel still is visible.

@lemonade: It's the same in Intrepid in my case.

I only got this issue after upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty. My problem is that I have to emulate a virtual desktop because I'm using twinview (with nvidia). When I am not emulating a virtual desktop, I don't have this problem. In Intrepid the wine program was correctly put on top, but in Jaunty the gnome panel came on top.

Confirmed on two computers with Jaunty, using the nvidia 180 driver. Didn't see this behavior on the first computer in Intrepid, only after a new install of Jaunty. Occurs when using Cedega OR wine.

Confirmed in Jaunty x86_64 / Wine 1.1.27
NVIDIA 185.18.31 (vendor-provided) driver.

Sorry for double post. Confirmed that this only happens with compiz effects enabled.

I hit bug #369158 with gqview as well, which has been duped here. I'm using Jaunty on nvidia here. Could reproduce it with the latest gqview CVS trunk as well. By the way, I guess the gqview fullscreen mode should be much simpler to reproduce this issue and investigate the problem than a full wine setup.

There seems to be a race condition: while the first time I switched to fullscreen usually got me gnome panels around my window, the second time it usually was really full screen, and if not, then the third time it was. So switching to fullscreen mode and back a few times seems to be a workaround at least for gqview.

Yes, sometimes it helps to close the fullscreen window and reopen it. But this is not reliable, sometimes I needed do this 10 times or more to have a real fullscreen without panels.

Does it help if you disable Unredirect Fullscreen Window? You can change this option in System->Preferences->CompizConfig Settings Manager in the General Options. You'll have to install the compizconfig-settings-manager package first.

Also, if at all possible, please try to reproduce this problem in karmic.

Disabling Unredirect Fullscreen Window doesn't help, I can still see Gnome panel on top. I didn't test in Karmic.

Still an issue on current Karmic beta. There "Unredirect Fullscreen Window" is disabled by default, and enabling it changes nothing.

I confirm that this bug is still there in Karmic beta as well (using gqview). Has anyone come with another idea about to solve this problem. My Nvidia driver version: 96.43.13.

Here the "Legacy Fullscreen Support" setting returned to work in Karmic for gqview fullscreen (see duplicate bug), perhaps this helps for wine, too?

In Karmic, Legacy Fullscreen works for Blender. It now works properly (And fullscreen flash is not broken)

Legacy fullscreen is the default, karmic users don't need to enable it. As far as I'm aware the only people seeing this bug at this point should be some ati users. I know it works with intel and nvidia, at least.

Oh, and perhaps legacy nvidia. I'm pretty sure this is driver related though.

I'm also experiencing this issue on Karmic.
Some kind of Intel chipset

I suffer this bug too. I have Ubuntu Karmic and ATI Radeon Mobility X1350 (free drivers). When I run a full-screen game through wine and I have compiz enable, the top panel persists. With only Metacity (without effects) runs well.

Suffered from this on a clean install of karmic. (with gqview) legacy fullscreen was _not_ ticked, as travis indicated in #22, and ticking it made this problem go away. Video is Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Seems broken with wine1.2, compiz and i965.

Is this related to #525807?

Hmm, must learn how to insert bug references properly. Is this related to bug 525807?

Probably. Whether or not to add as duplicate I do not know.

Can someone tell what exactly the legacy fullscreen option does? That might clue us in.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I noticed that the package version your bugging is updated in Maverick. Please update via www.ubuntu.com repost a detailed error report, and update the bug status. Thanks!

This is still a problem with Wine 1.3.6 and Compiz 0.8.6 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Complete up2date, 10.10.

Had a on-board intel video-card where opengl was not perfect, so Wine was not perfect with Windows games.

just put a new video-card (Geforce GT 220) into my system and have now this problem:

[img]http://www.opvolger.net/opvolger/linux/Revolt.png[/img]

After using ALT-TAB and going back to the game, the gnome-bars are gone.

Marking to Confirmed based on tests from Jaime Rave & Opvolger.

Is affecting Unity also.

Still a problem in Oneiric.

reopen this bug as it comes agin in Ubuntu 12.04

I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but... There's another problem with Wine and a memory access violation and a workaround for this problem is to disable ptrace protection with

    echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

I noticed that running this command fixes the menu bar problem as well. I'm running Precise.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. The compiz program that we currently use in Ubuntu is a C++ re-write of the original compiz and was announced the 4th July 2010. Therefore, the bugs that were reported before that date, will be marked as "Won't Fix" as they probably exist in the original program which is not stored in launchpad. (The last LTS that used the old compiz is the 10.04 which is not supported anymore).
