MC-19751Can't full screen on LinuxMint 14.1 Cinammon DE
This has apparently been an issue on earlier versions of LinuxMint with Cinnamon but using the regular launcher, although I can't confirm this.
The problem seems to point more towards Cinnamon, but I couldn't find anything relevant on the matter on the LinuxMint forums.
I've tried the Stock Launcher/FTB/Tekkit/MultiMC and all of them allow me to full screen on Cinnamon.
I've also tried an openbox/Gnome Classic/XFCE session and they also allow me to full screen. This bug happens regardless of the "desktop effects".
Environment
LinuxMint 14.1 Nadia 64 bit with the Cinnamon Desktop Environment & OpenJDK 1.7.0_21, Intel i5 2500K CPU, 8gb 1333MHZ Ram, Geforce GTX 460 OC Video Card with Nvidia 319.17 Drivers using the Xorg-Edgers PPA.

Can't full screen on LinuxMint 14.1 Cinammon DE
This is apparently been an issue on earlier versions of LinuxMint with Cinnamon but using the regular launcher, although I can't confirm this.
The problem seems to be related to the dev launcher & Cinnamon perhaps?

From MC-19751:
This is very likely a LWJGL issue, feel free to report it on: https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/issues
There is very little we can do.
This is strongly related to MC-2067, but invalid, since most likely a OpenGL, graphics driver or LWJGL issue, but not a Minecraft issue.

This is about Minecraft cannot reliably enter fullscreen on linux, and about LWJGL being blamed for it.
I tried to fix this issue in LWJGL once and for all only to discover that it is in fact a Minecraft issue 
You are calling Display.setFullscreen(true) when the user presses F11 (which is correct), but shortly after this you check if the window lost its focus. If Display.isActive() return false you disable fullscreen.
The problem is that switching to fullscreen can take a while and LWJGL returns false on Display.isActive() while the switching happens (during which the window is destroyed and re-created, so this is technically correct).
This leads to a race-condition where sometimes LWJGL is fast enough and the game enters fullscreen as expected and sometimes Minecraft decides the game lost focus before fullscreen is reached and switches back to window mode.

Please explain what do you mean by cannot full screen. Does it crash? Then please attach the console output / crash report.
@tails, I hit F11 and it tries to fullscreen for a second, then goes back to normal size, no crash or anything.
New development: As I was typing this message I tried to go full screen and it worked for the first time ever, it seems to be intermittent at this point.
This is a fairly new LinuxMint install, so I haven't had the chance to mess anything up.
Nothing out of the ordinary in the console output as I press F11, this is very bizarre.

Yeah but Erik, this only happens with the Dev launcher, I use LWJGL 2.9.0 on the old launcher/FTB/Tekkit/MultiMC and it does not do that.
If you tell me that it's an Issue with my Desktop Environment that's fine, I was merely reporting it.
It's not that big of a deal, I just log out and use another DE.
This issue will persist from 1.6 onwards for you, you might as well report it (it's pointless for me to do so because I cannot actually provide them with a setup to debug it).
We create the window differently for 1.6 (and thus in all snapshots after 1.5.1), and this is very likely a LWJGL issue (or maybe even a java one not 'guessing' behaviour of your Desktop Environment right.
Moved to project Minecraft, since no launcher issue

MC-2067. On my Fedora 19 system, 1.5.2 has no problems with fullscreen, but 1.6.1 gets me behavior described here.Also note that the behavior is slightly different – in that bug, the pause screen comes up, but here, it doesn't.
