It means you need to understand how mailing lists work. We're all volunteers here. That means we're not paid for the support we might provide you. Nor is there any guarantee that your question will ever get answered. We all lead lives -- we do NOT sit here, dilligently awaiting new emails with the sweetness and light that we're going to answer them there and then. If you were somehow under this impression, I suggest you pinch yourself several times, and slap yourself just so you wake up and smell the *real* world. (Yes, I encounter this attitude a lot -- especially in #fvwm on irc.freenode.net, and it pisses me off.) > On Thursday 01 June 2006 03:26 pm, Harald van Pee wrote: > > for openoffice one have to switch to full screen (Ctrl+Shift+j) > > before starting a presentation.

Well, with the same version as you have, Maximizing the window first, then going to its "fullscreen" version works fin here in OO.o. I can't speak for your acroread 7 issue other than to say that acroread is dire in terms of cooperating with the window manager, and that xpdf(1) has come a long way of late to being quite usable. > > Switching to kde is one, but I would not prefer such a solution. > > Would it be possible to find out which functionality kde provides > > and fvwm does not and just provide this in fvwm? It's NOT a window manager problem. It's one of the OO.o not playing nicely with well-established rules. Look back through the archives of this list (linked from fvwm.org) for 'OpenOffice' -- you'll find several threads pertaining to the whole "fullscreen" issue. -- Thomas Adam -- "If I were a witch's hat, sitting on her head like a paraffin stove, I'd fly away and be a bat." -- Incredible String Band.
