This isn't another 'I dislike Unity' thread (so please don't just use this as an excuse to rant about Unity). For the record, I like Unity despite the bugs, etc. Anyway.
I've noticed that Unity can't handle things full screening. If I fullscreen a video on BBC iPlayer I just get a graphical mess (though occasionally Youtube vids can fullscreen after a bit of fuss). If I try to run XBMC I just get a computer crippling graphical mess (that said, XBMC used to occasionally do this on 10.10, so maybe that's a fault my end exacerbated on upgrading to 11.04?) I can't do anything about and have to physically turn my computer on and off again.
I remember someone else mentioning in another thread another program that ran fullscreen stopped working when they changed to 11.04.
Has anyone else found this or is it some odd curse I happened to have given myself?

This thread mentions that there are some known issues with XBMC & 11.04 (but this was in January, so...), but not that it doesn't work at all.
I haven't filed this in a help section because I imagine not much can be done about it (apart from wait for the bug to be fixed?) on my end?
(That said, Firefox itself seems to fullscreen OK)
