I once read a message on some X related mailing list claiming that
applications shouldn't change
screen resolution at all and should use what we call a "fullscreen
window" and upscale instead.
Now i think this is complete nonsense, but apparently there are quite
a few people
who do x development who feel that this is the way to go. And I feel
the compiz guys are
thinking like that, an are trying to force things in that way.
Anyway, as a practical solution to this problem, we could probably
call gconftool-2
and inspect, and then turn on that legacy setting. (and turn it off
again after
full screen if it was turned off) It's a huge hack, but compiz is
forcing our hand here... :p
