I noticed that, with scaling switched ON and in full-screen mode, the resolution took a hit on my display. Also that, if I kept in full-screen mode and switched OFF the scaling again:
1) Resolution was restored
2) Vinagre remained stable in full-screen mode.
You can switch off scaling without leaving full-screen mode by moving the cursor to the top of the screen to reveal the vinagre full-screen control panel. Then click on the magnifying glass icon.
Best of all worlds! Thanks again.

I may have found a workaround. If I select view->scaling, it show the correct full-screen view, without the gnome toolbar. I am then able to repeatedly jump in and out of fullscreen as well.

Binary package hint: vinagre
I'm 'abusing' my Ubuntu laptop as an external screen for my WindowsXP using Remote Desktop Viewer. The "trick" is to use ZoneScreen to create a 'virtual' monitor and VNC to copy the contents from one pc to another.
I have the VNC client on "read-only" and panned complete to the right so the visible area perfectly covers the ZoneScreen-monitor.
This works flawless, even thought the total screen is rather big (1024 + 1920 + 1600 x 1200), the 100Mbit LAN handles it just fine, I assume it's smart enough to only send through the 'useful' bits.
However, more often than not when I try to go full-screen, it seems a 1600x1200 'square' is assigned to VNC (= (native) resolution of the Ubuntu desktop), but it's not properly positioned at (0, 0) but instead seems to try to put itself somewhere on top of the INSIDE of the non-fullscreen (aka windowed) screen. Hence I keep to see the Ubuntu tool-bar on top of the screen, and part of the windows-screen 'falls of the bottom'.
Sometimes it helps when I make the windowed version a lot smaller and then try to move it around the screen randomly and try to go full-screen (F11) again : it might jump into the correct position, but it usually takes a lot of tries... I have not found any logic in it (yet), but it seems the offset is (almost) always the top-left position of the windowed-version.
Another "trick" is to move the VNC application to another desktop and try there... again, sometimes it works, often it doesn't.
Hope this makes sense, I've included 2 screenshots to make it a bit more clear. Feel free to ask for more details via email.
Thanks for making the effort to look at this !
