Does "fullScreenWarning=false" imply also that the escape key would be
free for normal use? Removing the overlay is definitely good, but for
apps that always run full-screen they shouldn't react to escape either.

We have a request <https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15314> to
allow non-sandboxed applications to disable the "ESC to exit full
screen" overly (and the associated ESC action to exit Full Screen).
This is needed for "kiosk" style applications where Full Screen should
only be under programmatic control.
I have several options to present, but all of them have an underlying
change, which is the addition of a system property to disable the
overlay behavior:
-Djavafx.fullScreenWarning=false
API Option One: Add to Platform, providing for a system toggle that is
static.
public static void setFullScreenWarning(boolean warn)
public static boolean getFullScreenWarning()
Note: I considered other options, like Application, but felt they were
poor fits. I am willing to listen to reason though.
API Option Two: Add to Stage. This would be a per instance change, and
not a global toggle:
public void setFullScreenWarning(boolean warn)
public boolean getFullScreenWarning()
API Option Three: don't change the API at this point, rely only on the
system properly to disable the overlay.
Note: option three seems to be a reasonable solution for many of the
users of this functionality, because in a "kiosk" style application
you can control the launching anyway.
