wine's fullscreen code has no effect on metacity

Some patches were committed to wine recently to make it use
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN for fullscreen apps. These patches
appear to
work in kwin but not metacity (I was using firefox as a
test). In
metacity, it appears wine recognizes that it needs to make a
window
fullscreen and send the appropriate message, but nothing
happens
(panels are still on top of firefox in fullscreen mode).

I've mentioned this on wine's bug
(http://bu
gs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3312), but I suspect it's
probably caused by some quirk in metacity that wine triggers
by doing
some rather odd things itself. That's why I've CC'd the
metacity-devel
list (to which I and probably anyone on any wine mailing
lists are not
subscribed).

So, uh, metacity people, under what circumstances would
metacity be
likely to put a window that had sent the proper
_NET_WM_STATE_ADD
message for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN behind panels?

If you have properly changed the fullscreen state as it
sounds, the
only case in which metacity ignores this hint is when the
window
doesn't have focus and is on the same xinerama as the
window that does
have focus (this is to allow the user to alt-tab to another
window and
do something without having the window they alt-tab to just
remain
covered up).  So, if you can run
   xprop | grep _NET_WM_STATE
and click on the relevant window and it shows
"_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN" as one of the states
and then focus that
window and observe it to not be on top of all other windows
(including
panels), then it sounds like you've discovered a bug in
Metacity.  If
so, I would be interested to learn how to reproduce so that
I can fix
it.

Thanks,
Elijah
