Taskbar still shows up when entering mythtv

[zackboll]

Hi, I recently upgraded to Mythbuntu 8.04, and current have Ubuntu Desktop installed.

When I first upgraded, everything was good and the mythtv GUI covered my taskbars. I have recently be messing around with /etc/X11/xorg.conf file trying to get SLI to work on my machine. I noticed that when I open up the Mythtv frontend now, my Top and Bottom taskbars are visible on top of the Mythtv gui. Does anyone know how to configure it such that the Mythtv gui covers the task bars again?

I don't know if this would have anything to do with it, but here is my xorg.conf file I am using.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try turning off compiz if you've got it on.

After rebooting, it seemed to work for some reason. I was just using <ctrl> <alt> <backspace> to kill xserver to test out my xorg.conf file while trying to get SLI to work on two monitors.

I'm having the same problem... how would I go about turning Compiz off?
Thank you,
