wine's fullscreen code has no effect on metacity

It may help. Unless someone else tries this before me, I'll
have to
try a demo of this game.

Or maybe not. I think I've seen Worms 3D use fullscreen
mode properly
before Wine ever had that implemented. It might just mean
that opengl
provides another (but for some reason more compatible with
metacity)
method for making windows fullscreen.

Metacity has some heuristics for fullscreening windows that
don't
fullscreen themselves.  IIRC, it looks to see if the window
hits all the
screen edges and then pretends that it's fullscreen for
stacking
constraints, etc.

(metacity fullscreens all x clients that don't fullscreen
themselves.
Who fullscreens metacity?)
