[mythtv-users] Menubars will not go away when TwinView is enabled

I have a MSI AGP GeForce FX5200-TD128LF video board with DVI, VGA,
and s-video outputs. The other afternoon, I worked on my xorg.conf
with get both DVI and s-video to work at the same time. Some
cropping of the video image does occur in s-video but I accomplished
what I had set out to do. In order to get DVI and s-video to work at
the same time, "TwinView" must be activated in the "Device" section.
My xorg.conf file is attached at the bottom of this email.
Unfortunately when I launched Myth, the menubar at the top and the
toolbar (is that what it's called?) at the bottom stays visible on
the screen. When the menu-bar and toolbar are visible, it makes the
screen format look strange. Cycling through the zoom and fill modes
doesn't really make much of a difference. The menu-bar Auto Hide
function doesn't help either.
I've read about using RatPoison as a window manager but I really
don't want to go down that path as I am not guaranteed good
resolution with that window manager either. I am also too lazy, as a
noob, to spend another couple of days learning to download and
install a new window manager.
Is there a command somewhere that tells Myth to hide the menu-bar?
Does anyone know how to get the menu-bar and toolbar to hide when
"TwinView" is on and MythTV is launched?
