SDL 1.3 fullscreen in Ubuntu

SDL Development
1

I’m running Ubuntu 10.04, and when I go fullscreen, I can still see the
gnome panels.
I downloaded frozen bubble to see if it’s a “fresh” issue (I assume Frozen
Bubbles uses SDL 1.2) - no issue.
I’m not sure if this is an issue with the SDL_Window way of setting things
fullscreen, of if it’s a problem with SDL 1.3 fullscreen, or even more
likely, it’s a localized problem with Ubuntu

Any help would be appreciated,

Looks like this issue is with Compiz/Beryl -> I disabled that (didn’t really
want it on, anyway), and things are fine now - other than that, the other
work around was just to auto-hide the panels

We ran into this problem when deploying a video wall during undergrad
and found no super clean solutions either. We ended up using Xubuntu
and a startup script that cleared everything from the desktop.
