Hi,

unfortunately fullscreen handling is somewhat broken in FLTK (at least 
under X) as it tries to simulate fullscreen behaviour (also making bad 
assumptions about the desktop layout) instead of letting the window 
manager handle it, which is fine when dealing with ancient WMs but 
breaks on most newer ones.

Your best bet would be to implement ICCCM window manager hints (see 
<http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/>) by yourself. 
Essentially you'll somehow have to pass the `_NET_WM_STATE' property to 
your WM. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.

I did file a STR for this some time ago but it soon got closed in a 
somewhat discouraging fashion, so I didn't look further into that.

Regards,
Freddy
