Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.0.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

VMware workstation has a modus called "Quick Switch" (F11 shortcut),
where the window bar disappears, the menu bar as well (with pop-up
functionality), and the VMware window is maximized.
This works well under KDE, but not under Xfce4/Xfwm4:
- the window bar doesn't disappear.
- the menu bar neither (though it pops-up as normal)
- and the maximized window disappears behind the bottom of the screen
  because menu bar and window bar are not counted in the 
  "window maximization calculation".

Hope this is all clear (I join a snapshot), don't hesitate to ask back if you
need more information or clarification.

VMware is installed as RPM package:
VMwareWorkstation-4.0.0-4460

Thanks, Eric

Hi,

I've switched relatively recently to etch and found at last time to test
the issue with xfce4/xfwm4 4.2.3 and the problem has disappeared, so I've
switched to Xfce and I'm now checking if I can survive without KDE... ;-)

Thanks, Eric
