Ah, I see what you mean. When not running Unity, the menu is there, allowing you
to click on View->Fullscreen.

But then I don't think this is a Banshee specific interface bug. You can
fullscreen and unfullscreen any window using Ctrl+Alt+Enter (the configured
keybinding for fullscreen in Compiz), and few applications, if any, allow you to
exit fullscreen using the mouse without a menu.

I'm going to mark this as affecting unity -- I think the Unity guys can provide
some useful input on the matter.
