** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Some applications (like Remmina) fail to ever enter full screen mode when running under Unity/Compiz. This limits usability somewhat.
+ 
+ [Development Fix]
+ Fixed in lp:compiz-core revision 3095 (same for both 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 series). The compiz core logic for windows entering full screen mode contained a simple math error. It was only allowing full screen mode for windows if their size + decorations fit the screen. Obviously this was wrong because full screen windows don't have decorations. Removed the check for decorations fitting when a window wants to full screen.
+ 
+ [Stable Fix]
+ As above.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Compile the test script from comment #9:
+    valac test-resize-content-after-fullscreen.vala --pkg gtk+-3.0
+ 2. Run: test-resize-content-after-fullscreen
+ 3. Verify it uses the full screen and has no decorations.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low. The modified code's only function is to determine whether a window is allowed to full screen. That is the only affected feature.
+ 
+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  * Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 amd64
  * Unity 5.4.0-0ubuntu2
  * Remmina 1.0.0-1ubuntu3
  
  When switching Remmina remote desktop client into the full screen mode
  with client resolution a window decoration is still shown and no full
  screen toggled.
  
  It works ok under Unity 2D and Gnome shell.
