Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Tags: patch I looked into this and determined that the attached patch solves the issue when a WM is in use. If, for some reason, the fullscreen fails (e.g. no WM is in use) then the window size will still be set to the screen size.
I did a test live-build of a squeeze image using gnome-desktop package list, live-installer (daily), debian-installer-launcher and this patch. When launched from the desktop, the installer starts fullscreened so all elements of the UI are now visible. Ben
