When ever I select a video file to play xbmc goes from full screen to windowed. This is just a minor annoyance. Its not that hard to hit the \ key.

To quote the other 2309480298340932842093 threads covering this issue, "Please try disabling desktop effects in Ubuntu." If that doesn't work, see http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=34655 . And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE search the forums before posting!
Also try setting the xbmc resolution to the same as your desktop. That's worked for me in the past when dealing with a similar issue.

I don't have desktop effect on. I have read through many many threads, thats why I created this post.
