[Bug 913141] [NEW] Document X11 bypass window manager flag

 

Public bug reported:

Document the new setting on the Advanced tab of the Configuration
dialog.

"Bypass X11 Window Manager"

Linux and other X users may need to try toggling this flag if the main
display window is causing them problems. For example with this unset,
then KDE users may find the main display window disappears if they
switch windows. Gnome Unity users may find the main screen is corrupted
if set. Gnome Shell users may find the window doesn't fill the whole
screen if unset. As it appears to affect different versions and
distributions differently, this setting has been added, rather than try
and work it out programmatically.
