thanks, i'm using LXDE with openbox, but it seems that fullscreen flash 
is a well know issue at least with gnome 3.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins#Fullscreen_fix_for_GNOME_3

i tried the workaround for browsers like firefox or chrome using 
devilspie but without success.
what would be the correct application_name in the devilspie 
configuration when mythtv starts flash playback?

(if
(is (application_name) "mythfrontend")
(begin
(focus)
)
)
