I have the same issue when running the 3D version of Unity. It doesn't happen on the 2D version of Unity.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

This is a long standing issue with MythTV and compiz (the window manager used when unity-3d is running).

[John Nelson (jpnels2)]

As it turns out, the work-arounds for earlier versions of Ubuntu apply to mythfrontend when running on Natty, as well. Two things must be done to get full-screen mythtv working when Unity 3D is running. First, as in Bug # 34934, the option "legacy fullscreen support" has to be enabled in the "Workarounds" section of CompizConfig Settings Manager. If that alone doesn't fix the issue, you must ensure that both "GUI Height" and "GUI Width" are set to 0 (zero) in the "Appearance" settings for mythfrontend.

The earlier bug report referred to should have been Bug #348934. Sorry for the typo.

Thanks John Nelson (jpnels2), that finially did it. I had enabled legacy full screen support and the bar wasstill there, legacy full screen support alone did not work. However once setting my GUI Height and GUI Width to 0 in Mythtv it all snapped into place.

I was worried I was going to have to get a whole new window manager to fix it!
