[Workaround]AwesomeWM, fullscreen doesn't work properly

Hey, I'm having some trouble getting fullscreen to work properly, This is what it looks like.
Heroes of Newerth has a similar issue, where the wibox goes on top even though the fullscreen option is ticked. I'm running an ATI card with catalyst which might have something to do with it, dunno. The default rc.lua yields the same result. I have two monitors, same issue on both. Is it a bug with catalyst/awesome or is there something I can do to fix it?

xorg.conf - just an aticonfig --initial=dual-head

Re: [Workaround]AwesomeWM, fullscreen doesn't work properly

I didn't exactly find a solution to my problem but it is a workaround.

Hide / show wibox in awesome 3

To map Modkey-b to hide/show default statusbar on active screen (as default in awesome 2.3), add to your globalkeys in rc.lua:

awful.key({ modkey }, "b", function ()
    mywibox[mouse.screen].visible = not mywibox[mouse.screen].visible
end),

Not exactly ideal but it'll have to do. I guess I'll tag the topic as a workaround if anyone else runs into the same problem.
