Bug Description

Will not start in full screen mode. Settings set to full screen with proper screen resolution selected. Unity 3d taskbar and launcher present blocking info. Cannot interact with Launcher, it is there for show only. "xbmc -fs" also did not work. It functioned corrected in the past few days but today this issue has presented itself. Ubuntu 12.04 all up to date as of a couple hours ago.

dirty workaround: delay xbmc opening (5s works for me)

if it can help someone (I've just found this feature -_-):
it is possible to select xbmc at log sreen like ubuntu or ubuntu 2D.
It will start xbmc only but you can go back to ubuntu very fast by login out .
This solution is way faster than starting ubuntu then xbmc in fullscreen (of course it depend on your need).
