Yes, MythTV now supports proper full-screen windows--and it didn't in
0.21-fixes (because Qt3 didn't).
However, it's still a problem with the WM.
Likely if you set the mythfrontend size to something just under your
full screen size (i.e. one pixel short of the X or Y size of your
screen), it will probably work (even with a WM that refuses to allow
non-fullscreen windows on top of fullscreen windows) since MythTV won't
be fullscreen anymore.
Or you can use Internal... :)
