As per subject. At least totem and evince are unable to go full screen within xmonad, no matter their placements being floating or tiled. Totem seems to completely ignore the fullscreen command; evince enters a fake fullscreen mode where menu bar disappear, but the window is neither maximizer nor take over gnome panel space. Both applications are able to go fullscreen using a different window manager, i.e., metacity. Other applications, most notably mplayer, are on the contrary able to go fullscreen within xmonad without any particular problem. Cheers.
Hi Zack, Am Mittwoch, den 15.04.2009, 23:49 +0200 schrieb Stefano Zacchiroli: I think this can be achieved by using the right extensions somehow. Could you please paste your .xmonad.hs for issues like this? And for hints on how to configure xmonad, you might want to write the mailing list xmonad@haskell.org. Greetings, Joachim
Attached. (Hint: if this is a frequent need, maybe you can provide a presubj script for reportbug which attach user .xmonad.hs asking for confirmation?) FWIW, the smartBorders / NoBorders stuff is irrelevant for the issue, which is present even if I comment out that stuff. Well, thanks, but I'm well aware that there is support for xmonad :-) If I submitted this as a bug report, it is because I believe it is a bug. I expect fullscreen hints to work out of the box, or at least I expect them to be consistent across applications. If you consider this not to be a bug, feel free to close it explaining why it is not one. Cheers.
[Please keep the bugs.debian.org address in CC] Hi xmonad list, a user has an issue with the current fullscreen handling: [..] If I submitted this as a bug report, it is because I believe it is a bug. I expect fullscreen hints to work out of the box, or at least I expect them to be consistent across applications. If you consider this not to be a bug, feel free to close it explaining why it is not one. ------------------------------------------- I somewhat agree with him, although I currently to work around with a Toggleable Fullscreen layout. I guess we can not change all applications to behave the same (as, for example, screenmessage or gqview do, whose fullscreen support works great without changes). Any chance to make a consistent behavior default in xmonad? Hopefully without having to have xmonad-contrib available?
