Sorry, but I disagree, this isn't invalid and I'll explain why.

I talked with Sam Spilsbury a bunch the other day in #compiz-dev and he agreed that this is a bug in Ubuntu's Unity. There is a separate Chrome bug that they've fixed, but the underlying problem, which is the same problem that 's affecting VMware Workstation and Player (which is why I'm filing this bug) is that Ubuntu Unity does not honor gtk_window_set_decorated(false), which sets _MOTIF_WM_HINTS to 0, when it goes through a maximize/unmaximize cycle.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=75485#c11 : "Only half of this bug is a problem in chrome. r83173 should take care of the display of our custom window buttons in fullscreen unity, and should opportunistically use some other unity features.

The double titlebar reported by fta in @4 appears to be a unity bug and is tracked here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/711567"

Also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/711567/comments/5 : "The second part (unity "forgets" when a window has set gtk_window_set_decorated()) looks like a problem in unity and attempts at working around it in chromium haven't been successful. (I tried calling gtk_window_set_decorated(FALSE) when in the confused state and unity didn't respond.)"

So if you want to mark this a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/711567 I guess that might make sense, but I think you're misunderstanding my bug to think it's invalid.
