The multiwindow-mode window manager doesn't support or advertise support
for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, so this doesn't work at the moment.
So, technically I guess this an application/toolkit problem, as it
should notice that lack of support and e.g. grey-out the fullscreen
option in the menu.
But ideally this would be fixed by adding support for
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN to the WM.
