[Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.vugt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tomas is right. A workaround discussed in duplicate bug 1072889 is to turn on:
    CCSM > Composite > Unredirect Fullscreen Windows

But, WARNING: That's only safe to do on 12.10 or later. 12.04 has bugs
in the nouveau and intel drivers that will be triggered and often crash
the whole X server. It's not really a problem for nvidia, radeon, or
fglrx.

Also note that this option is turned on by default starting in 0.9.8.6
for quantal and 0.9.9.0 for raring.

** Summary changed:

- SDL applications bad resizing
+ Fullscreen windows at lower than native resolution only show upper left corner

** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) => compiz (Ubuntu)
