Hi all, I did bring this issue up for discussion about a year ago here: <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-devel@lists.x.org/msg00832.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-devel@lists.x.org/msg00832.html</a> But that thread sort of died, and this is still an issue. There is a bug report for it here: <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255</a> I've been trying to work out where the issue lies, well more specifically where it should be fixed. I've just had a chat to a Compiz dev and he thinks that if an application crashes it should be up to the xserver to restore the resolution. If a fullscreen program loses focus, then I think it's probably the WM's job of restoring the resolution there. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this should all be tied together? Does the xserver have enough information to restore the resolution if an application crashes? If so, is it a trivial thing to implement? Luke.
