Vista - Media Centre Controls not Fading Away

When I maximise the Media Centre, the control buttons and mouse pointer do
not fade away after a short delay, as they should do. It works okay in
windowed mode. I have a dual monitor setup, and this happens on both
monitors.

Anybody know why this is happening?

Maximize and full screen are two entirely different modes of operation. If
you go to full screen do they fade as designed.

They might be different in IE or WMP, but in Media Centre they appear to be
exactly the same. The controls do not fade as designed in Full/Max screen
mode.

Pressing any of the arrow buttons on the remote gets rid of them for me.
