Why? (I understand that it covers the screen, but "fullscreen" IMO should be
exactly meaning: I do not want extra information on screen, which is not the
case..

Right.

I cannot comment on this one, because I do not know the event handling well
enough. But I am sure there are ways around that problem, like sending two
events, a pre- and a post-change event.

The "fullscreen" should just tell plugins not to display their extra
information in the image viewer/video player/... That has nothing to do with
popup boxes. The rest of the screen handling is a different issue.

Ah, OK.
But what reason is there agains storing the relative coordinate internally and
converting it on demand? Wouldn't this make moving windows more easy?
I admit that it's bad to add solutions for problems that are non-existent, but
what about the two examples I came up with:
- A movable OSD? (/idlebar maybe too?)
- Animations like the suggested sliding menu (left/right icons, pressing right
would slide the old parent menu to the left and let the submenu come from the
right)?
