Binary package hint: unity
On an Nvidia-based dual-display desktop when a fullscreen opengl application is launched on the secondary display (it doesn't have a menu or toolbar or any of the usual UI stuff) then the application screen is shifted down by the full height of the menubar/taskbar/notificationbar such that the bottom of the opengl app is clipped.

dont' you mean the panel is not hidden when a fullscreen GL app is running? Also does the problem happen on the left display or with single display setup?
