Gwenview is entirely unusable under Cinnamon. Even when the program comes up properly, going into full-screen mode freezes the entire program for 30sec. Often enough, the program does *not* come up properly: It ends up in some kind of degenerate full-screen mode, where it looks like it normally does (with menu bar and all), but has no title bar and covers the panel at the bottom). Reproducible: Always Version: 15.08.1 (not available in the menu above)
Hi Ralf, a few questions: 1. What is your OS, distro , versions, CPU arch, etc.? 2. Did you try it in a new UNIX user account? 3. Like #2 but with a different window manager or desktop env, such as JWM, IceWM or Xfce. 4. Did you try building gwenview from git and running it? For the record , gwenview from git runs fine here on Xfce on Mageia Linux x86-64 v6/Cauldron, without the symptoms you described.
1. I am on Debian testing amd64 2. I tried a brand new account. Logged in with cinnamon, opened a jpg-file, double-clicked for full-screen - and waited 30sec for it to happen. Then I did Alt-F4 to leave the application, opened the same jpg file again, and Gwenview was in that weird state with a menu and all, but "full-screen" as in no title bar and no panel. 3. I don't have tons of Desktops installed... gwenview works fine under KDE. 4. Nope - would that help?
I just tried logging in with openbox, Gwenview behaved as expected under this window manager.

Created attachment 94840 [details] Screenshot of gwenview on Xfce on Debian Testing ("Stretch") has dysfunctional UI - how do I fix it?
Seems like gwenview's Full Screen mode misbehaves with cinnamon-session-2.6.3-3.mga6 here on Mageia Linux x86-64 v6/Cauldron, too.
I am now seeing similar behavior with Konsole: It starts in some kind of broken full-screen mode, after I accidentally enabled and disabled normal full-screen once.

Is this reproducible with later versions of Gwenview and Cinnamon?
I am no longer using Cinnamon, so I cannot tell.
