Yes, it's a bug. But not only our bug. We couldn't yet develop any
windowmanager-independent method to make window really fullscreen.
There was some version, but there are always users with problems.
I think the only solution is adding a new switch, for example -fsmode
to select which method should be used.

Unfortunately most common window managers aren't compatible with standards
or Motif wm. So standard ways to enable fullscreen doesn't work with them.
And non-standard modes not work for standard-compliant wm's.

You missed the only important thing here: what window manager are you using?
