Ok, so I patched metacity 2.14.5 source from Dapper with the patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343115 but the patch had a few rejects. I compiled anyway and installed the two resulting packages for libmetacity and metacity. After restart gdm I tried acroread in fullscree mode (^l) and lo-and-behold it works! Off to my wifes account, change the config to use metacity instead of sawfish, start the citrix ICAclient and it works ... almost perfectly. It goes fullscreen just fine above the panels, however, when I open an application on the Windows desktop (i.e. IE) the panels appear again. Clicking into the background of the Windows desktop makes it completely fullscreen again. So there is still a small problem that opening a window on the Windows desktop makes the panels go on-top again. The windows of Windows in the citrix ICAclient are still managed by the linux window manager, i.e. metacity. So somehow opening a new window in metacity triggers a change of order of the active windows. I don't know metacity well enough to go deeper though ... other than observing that a fullscreen application opening yet another window is surely a rather special case that might not be handled correctly yet. Anyway, the fix works mostly, but it is not the end. I wonder if we should also check with rdesktop?
