Maximised windows extend below panels when using dual monitors

[rettichschnidi]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

With enabled "Desktop Effects" the GNOME Panels are still visible even if the Virtualbox's fullscreenmode (Host + F) is enabled.
No problem at all when I switch back to Metacity.

I'm using Tribe5 + updates on a Macbook.

The same happens with vnc and wine so it is a compiz issue I guess. If I have desktop effects activated I couldn't scroll with vnc but if I deactivate them without reconnecting vnc size fits and I can scroll.
I am using current Gutsy.

It happens also with EOG.

A similar issue happens on my setup (compiz in hardy): vertically maximized windows appear below the bottom panel.

Temporary workaround for me is moving the panel away from the bottom to another screen edge and back again.

Perhaps related to Bug #237955?

This may be related to bug 172718

This doesn't work for me. I have two screens, one above the other.

The original bug reported here is fixed. David, your bug is actually bug 172718.

I'll comment on bug 172718 too, but my task bar is 24 pixels large so that doesn't seem right.

Not sure what kind of fix has been released for this, but I seem to be affected with a very similar problem. When I maximize a window on my laptop screen, this window extends below both both the upper and lower taskbar. My system is a thinkpad x300 and ubuntu version 9.10.
