I don't know if others have this issue, but my xbmc has problem opening and staying in full screen mode sometimes. To try and solve this i have to shutdown the app, close my terminal and restart xbmc. Or i try and hit the "\" a few times and hope it resolves the problem. What normally happens it i will see the title bar at the top of the window, then if i press the full screen key (\) it will change, but the whole window just kinda shifts up leaving the taskbar (or whatever its called in linux) to show along with a little portion of the desktop.

What distribution are you using?
What desktop (Gnome, KDE, xfce4, etc)
Did you use a tutorial to set up your system?
What is your resolution setting in XBMC?
Is it setup to load in fullscreen mode by default? ( I believe an switch is available for the xbmc binary.)
Do you have drivers installed for your hardware?
What hardware is this running on?
What monitor/s is/are connected?
