-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 It's been a bit of an annoyance for me and the source of several past bug
 reports that when mythfrontend is run fullscreen on a Gnome desktop using
 Compiz effects then the upper and lower panels are not covered, unless
 auto-hiding is enabled.

 The problem can be overcome by installing  CompizConfig settings and
 enabling "Legacy Fullscreen Support" in workarounds - implying that this
 is a MythTV bug.  However, on investigation it appears that it's actually
 a Compiz bug that's easily worked around by making the window visible
 before setting the fullscreen state.  The attached one-line patch does
 this.
