(I.e., fullscreen mode should work the same before and after applying the patch.)  To ensure you're using fullscreen mode, you can /not/ specify any window size/offset overrides or -geometry flags on the mythfrontend/mythtv-setup command line and you /must/ set the GUI size (both X and Y) sizes to 0 in mythfrontend settings.

Before this patch, there was a hack added to workaround fullscreen not working properly on Mac OS X that changed the window to be a Qt::SplashScreen .  It seems that the hack was working around the same issue that Jeff fixed for Windows, so I have a suspicion that the Mac OS hack is no longer required, and I would love to get it removed.

Doug, thanks for the smoke test--and the very fast response.  I'll 
submit the patch on a ticket for Nigel to review now that it seems we 
may have a more-proper fix that will allow removal of the hack.
