Comment:

 The way mythtv behaves is no different to many applications and is
 perfectly correct. Until very recently X didn't really support the concept
 of "fullscreen". The only way to create a fullscreen effect was to use a
 window whose dimensions were set to that of the screen and remove the
 border.

 X, as of recent versions, now has a proper fullscreen property but it's
 not supported by QT3. We may be able to set the property directly but
 until then, there is a workaround within Compiz itself.

 The "Workaround" plugin, offers the following setting "Legacy Fullscreen
 Support". Enable that and you should be able to use mythfrontend in
 fullscreen mode with Compiz.
