I fired up gnome, and I'm happy to say that desktop-effects are now working on my computer (as of intrepid upgrade I assume).

I have steps to reproduce this issue with compiz. This produces the fullscreen bug described in the original post for this bug report when done with desktop-effects on. When following these steps without desktop-effects (but still in gnome) then firefox behaves properly. Here's the steps:

1) [re]move your ~/.mozilla so you're starting fresh

2) start firefox

3) quit firefox (wait until it's really stopped)

4) edit your ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/localstore.rdf

edit this tag: RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"

Set screenX and screenY to 0.

Set "width" to the width of your screen and height to the height of your screen. In my case that was 1024 and 768 respectively.

Set sizemode to "maixmized".

5) start firefox

Expected result: firefox window, which is maximized, and still has it's title bar, and I can still see gnome panels.

Actual result with desktop-effects: window covers entire screen, covering gnome panels, and window title bar is not visible. Firefox still has all it's menu bars and toolbars visible though.

Actual results with desktop-effects OFF: as expected
