Problem with glutFullScreen on Linux

On enabling glutFullscreen for the OpenGl application that i am developing, i have observed an unwanted behaviour. The Fullscreen mode of GLUT does not allow viewing of other open windows on Linux platform.

I belive that is the whole idea with glut fullscreen (create an all mighty window that covers all other windows and the entire desktop).

i think u have misunderstood the thing.
when i m going in fullscreen mode it is not allowing me even to open any new glut window over it.
