It's OK that a WM constrains windows to be placed inside of its work area but still allows to place them into a fullscreen state on request. How would you suggest to properly inform a WM that a window needs to be in a fullscreen state? Does metacity ignore ClientMessage/_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN request due to 'fullscreenable = 0' or something else?
I'm not next to the machine where I had the log unpacked, so I'm not sure, but yeah if fullscreenable=0 when the client message is received then that would cause it to be ignored. I think some tweaking to when fullscreenable is set would be well worth trying out as a solution.
Anything else I can do to help fixing this problem? Do you need any further testing/logs/investigation on the Wine side?
You could try patching metacity with either of the fixes mentioned here (or some other fix) and verify that they work for wine: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346927
They are both basically 1-2 line changes, so there's no patch there but there should be enough info to easily patch metacity.
The other thing to test I guess is whether apps like e.g. mplayer/xine still get heuristically fullscreened, though for all I know recent mplayer uses the proper hints now.
It's best to add further info on the bug so it doesn't get lost.
