Window state "Fullscreen" doesn't display over gnome-shell's activities bar, even with "Always on top" enabled.

When trying to configure Terminator to behave like the Quake terminal, I noted that when the window state is set to 'Fullscreen', nothing I do seems to make it appear over the gnome-shell activity taskbar on the top of the screen. This means that the first line of the terminal is obscured and cannot be seen.

I tried enabling "always on top", but this does nothing. In addition, I'm not sure if there is a way to get terminator to resize the window to be a little smaller so that it appears under the Activities/Taskbar when in fullscreen mode (No window decorations).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set terminator to Fullscreen.
2. Enable "Always on top" if you want.
3. Configure your "Hide Window" keybinding to something so you can make the terminator window appear or disappear via a hotkey.
4. Push your hotkey and make the window appear and disappear.

Bug: The Terminator window appears and disappears as normal, but regardless of what you do, it always appears under the gnome-shell activities bar blocking off the first line of terminal text. If there is a workaround to reduce this window to resize just under the activities bar (Without window decorations), I haven't found it yet. :-)

Update: Seems you can do this as a workaround.

1. Set the Window state to be "normal" by default.
2. Set "Window borders" to be disabled.
3. Close and launch Terminator with the "--geometry" option and specify the size of your desktop.

Now it will appear psudo full-screen like, but the position will be under the gnome-shell activity/task bar. This isn't perfect, since "Fullscreen" should automatically scale to the size of your desktop for you, but manually putting in the values manually is better than nothing. At least it positions itself under the taskbar so you can size it perfectly.
