I am using the awesome window manager, and am trying to view web videos (youtube, vimeo, various other flash players) in full screen on one monitor while doing something else on another monitor. I have seen people post issues with flash and other web-embedded videos and awesome, but those tend to relate to the videos getting tiled or being full screen behind the browser window or something like that. I am able to get fullscreen to work just fine, except when i transfer focus to another window, it pops out of full screen. Anyone have any ideas for keeping full screen even while the window doesnt have focus? Thanks!

Figured it out. I tried doing the same in Gnome, which had the same problem. Searching for linux more in general lead me to http://www.buttonhome.org/articles/23-l … itor-linux where they suggested going into libflashplugin.so and manually changing _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to something like __ET_ACTIVE_WINDOW, which did the trick.

For those interested, there is also this hack, which does the same thing, but also corrects resolution problems when using dual monitors.

Thank you for sharing, but I think it's time to close this thread.
