  Ubuntu 7.10
  I am not sure which package is responsible for this. I'm sorry.
  
  What happens is this:  The Ubuntu menu bar sometimes, say after using
  Ubuntu for a few hours or a few days, extends beyond the border of the
  screen. So, the bar acts as if the screen is not say 1024x768, but as
- something bigger. The same happens when I watch a video stream from the
- internet (using the current version of Firefox) in full screen. It does
- not happen to like maximized firefox or openoffice.
+ something bigger. The same happens when I watch a flash-video stream
+ from the internet (using the current version of Firefox with flash) in
+ full screen. It does not happen to like maximized firefox or openoffice.
  
  The only way I am able to see the right side of the bar again, is by
  clearing the 'Expand' option of the gnome-panel properties, until so
  many applications are started that it moves beyond the border again.
  
  A few months ago, it seemed to happen daily. Now it happened again after
  say a few weeks. It happened right after I put in a DVD-movie. Totem
  started, but I had already VLC running, so I closed Totem. I remember
  that in the past very often Totem (or Xine) was started/closed before
  this happened. Could it be that Totem destroys some system settings? But
  then it is still a kind of bug of  the software that controls the screen
  size, since that software should not allow for it, or at least give me
  the oppertunity to correct it. BTW: Totem does not run as root, hence
  should not be able to alter resolution. It was possible to watch the
  video full screen just fine with VLC. That is the strange thing: the
  problem does not seem to apply to all situations, although it is not
  just the gnome-panel that is affected.
  
  What should happen of course, is that the menu bar and the full screen
  firefox stays with in the 1024x768 range.
