And by using XBMCbuntu this is not your case. Under XBMCbuntu, XBMC is running without any desktop/windows manager. So when you want to start another external application you have problems. To avoid this you can :
When I use AL to open Firefox, it opens using only the left half of the screen with no option to further maximize it or otherwise drag or enlarge it to fill the entire screen.
Any suggestions?
- Boot your system into a light windows manager (like openbox) and then automatically start XBMC.
- Create a script (.sh) that you will be started from Advanced Launcher that will start a light windows manager and then automatically launch your application.
- Use another linux distribution with a windows manager.
