Try this:
From: http://www.serenux.com/2009/04/howto-fix-mythtvs-frontend-not-going-full-screen-in-ubuntu-jaunty/

    Go to System->Preferences->CompizConfig Settings Manager. If you do
not have this option in your Preferences, then you need to add it.
Quickly jump into a terminal and type in at the $ prompt:

    $ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    …and hit Enter. Once installed, go back into the Preferences menu and bring it up.
    Scroll down until you get to the “Utility” section and then click on “Workarounds”. It should alredy be selected as enabled, but if not, also make sure the checkbox next to it is enabled too.
    .
    The window changes to show you the Workaround options. The very first option is “Legacy Fullscreen Support”. This is unchecked by default. Click on the checkbox so that it IS checked, and then click on the Back button, then close the window.
    .
    Quit the MythTV Frontend if you had it open already and then restart it. You will now find that the gap has disappeared, and that the MythTV display is now appearing full-screen properly instead of just being a window.
    .
    Pat yourself on the back.

Title:
  MythTV doesn't go full screen without desktop visual effects off

Status in MythTV:
  Fix Released
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythtv

If "Visual Effects" are enabled on the Gnome desktop (System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual Effects), mythfrontend doesn't go full screen, but the Gnome panels show.

$ lsb_release -r
Release:	9.04

$ uname -a
Linux kuken 2.6.28-11-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 23 16:40:00 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

~$ apt-cache policy mythtv-frontend 
mythtv-frontend:
  Installed: 0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu8

Not sure if this is the fault of MythTV or Compiz though.
