I think this bug is showing inconsistent symptoms.  I’ve seen four
solutions proposed:

1.  Restart frontend  (or equivalently:  delay it starting).  Just does
not work for me.

2.  Set ‘legacy fullscreen’ and ‘enable workarounds’.in Compiz settings manager.
It required agreement to use OpenGL (Do I need it? – I am set to use VDPAU).  Not working for me either.

3.  I was able to force fullscreen by switching themes in frontend setup
but it reverted at next frontend startup.  This no longer works anyway
but unsure why.

4.  The DISPLAY wmctrl solution which does work.   The DISPLAY must be
issued after frontend has started.  In order to catch all starting
conditions I chose to spawn a background script with a new line at the
start of /usr/bin/mythfrontend:

/usr/bin/ fullscreenfrontend.sh &

The fullscreenfrontend.sh script is as others have cleverly suggested
is:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 
DISPLAY=:0 wmctrl -r "MythTV Frontend" -b add,fullscreen

Now why is this all so inconsistent?  Why do solutions work for some but not for others?  What might be different about the setups?
  
I’m using Asus M3N78EM mobo with AMD CPU and onboard Nvidia 8300 graphics, 64 bit Mythbuntu 14.04, Nvidia 304 drivers ( 331.38 is unstable) VDPAU (not OpenGL) and mythwelcome.

Bug description:
  The XFCE bar is visable over mythfrontend on a fresh install.

  Reproduce:

  Install from Mythbuntu 14.04 ISO. Install with frontend+master
  backend. After install, when mythfrontend starts the XFCE bar is
  visable at the top of the screen. Historically, this has been an issue
  with Compiz (fixable by enabling the compiz legacy window mode).
