you can already have fullscreen windows to act like normal windows:
window stacking -> allow windows to be above fullscreen. maybe it
should be renamed to 'treat fullscreen as normal window'. also an
option should be added that one can either have always fullscreen
according to the spec, 'fullscreen is normal window' and 'fullscreen
according to spec if request by app' (not by e's action)
