Maybe if a fullscreen window is requested to be shaded, it is first
un-fullscreened?

I myself don't see a problem to disallow shading. A normal maximized
window is still allowed to be shaded; and anyone may un-fullscreen and
then shade a window if this is what he needs; or un-fullscreen, maximize
and shade. There is probably no much sense in fullscreen + shade states.
The whole fullscreen state is to help users (hopefully it is a user who
requests fullscreen, not a malicious program) to keep a window visible.
