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. -- Jon Turney Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
