At least I found a possible source of this problem (not only for sdl apps), see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138424
I have to reset one Compiz plugin to make things work again. in short, this is what I observe (copy from 138424 ...) The strange behavior for apps. launched on fullscreen (Nautilus or other applications) was caused(on my machine) by a Compiz plugin named PLACE WINDOWS under WINDOWS MANAGEMENT SECTION. This plugin has 4 possible states = 4 possible ways to put a window on desktop when this window is generated. 1 Centered 2 Smart 3 Maximize 4 Random The subject of this bug report is this RANDOM mode. When RANDOM mode is activated - this plugin try to calculate a random X and Y start points for the new generated window. This is in oposition with the case when a window try to start in fullscreen mode and X,Y = 0. Changing this mode to CENTERED mode solve my problem. -- compiz causes crash with fullscreen sdl applications (gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
