Description noeljb 2008-12-05 00:58:25 UTC 
Despite *not* having "Presentation always on top" selected, none of the three
versions of Impress I've tested (2.4.1, 3.0, 3.1dev) permit me to drag another
window over top of the slide show on the 2nd display.

Since your bug tracker won't accept multiple versions, please note that this is
present in v2.4.1, 3.0 and DEV300m36.

Reproducible on Linux, works on windows.
Comment 2 groucho266 2008-12-05 08:55:42 UTC 
I think this is an artifact of the way full screen windows are handled on Linux
but PL certainly knows that better.
Comment 3 noeljb 2008-12-05 20:39:15 UTC 
You may be correct, but in that case, don't offer the option.  :-)

Or, alternatively, do the "full-screen" differently: "True fullscreen do not
allow [windows to float over top], however, you can [create] a given application
[window] maximized, [without] without window decoration" which would give us
much the same effect, and might also fix the bugs that Impress has with stealing
X workspaces.

As a point of reference, I am currently running totem in its full-screen display
mode on an external monitor (nvidia twinview), and can drag other windows on top
of the totem display.

The Impress developers can take a look at how totem is handling its fullscreen
mode, which works in a perfectly acceptable manner.

This gets fixed as a side effect by issue 107249; the fullscreenstate is now
used in all cases (especially in Xinerama multi monitor configurations).
Especially the "keep window above" is not used anymore as long as you don't run
an ancient version of metacity.
