Fedora 26 VLC/mplayer fullscreen problem

[donoban]

Hi,

since Fedora 25 reached his EOL I have upgraded to Fedora 26 and I am
having a problem with VLC.

When I go to fullscreen mode the video gets the full area of the window
but the size of the window is unchanged . If I maximize it, it doesn't
get the whole screen. It doesn't get the top panel like an standard
maximize of another window.

Wondering if it could be a Fedora or VLC problem instead Qubes related I
tested mplayer too getting the same behavior.

I have allow_fullscreen = true for all VM's, also this VM doesn't have
this problem with debian or fedora 25 templates.

Any idea?

If you hit the ‘f’ key to go full screen, or use the application menu, then
you end up doing this using the application in the Qube.
Try to do it using the menu on the titlebar, which makes the trusted-window-
manager be the one to instruct the full-screen option.

That tends to work better.

I use a theme that has those extra buttons in the windows titlebars like above user says. Then you can hit fullscreen with mouse for desktop after making it fullscreen in the vm. take note of the key combination to go back out.
