Title:
  Fullscreen + unity difficult to exit, unless you're particularly
  observant

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I don't generally use banshee as a media player, so this may be it's
  default behaviour regardless of UI.  I've only tested under Unity.  If
  it does the same under other UIs I'd still argue that it's a bug.

  Open Banshee, choose media to play.
  Go to view, click fullscreen.
  Now imagine with no clues how you're supposed to get out of fullscreen.  If you were observant enough you might have seen the 'F' key indication beside the option, but most people aren't observant.
  If you can get in to a state by using a mouse, you ought to be able to get out of it using just the mouse.  There are no icons or options anywhere in the Banshee window itself to drop out of full screen mode, and the menu bar is gone along with the top bar, and the unity dock (doesn't appear when you go to the far left)

  I managed to get out of it because I hit F11 on the basis that is what
  works on some browsers, but that's highly dependent on people being
  aware of the keyboard shortcut, and I'd argue most people aren't.

  Attached is a screenshot of full screen banshee, in-case it's useful.
