Nope, this isn't the case for a long time anymore. There are standardized X11 flags for this defined in the Freedesktop standard on extended window manager hints. Whether or not the window managers obey them is another story - these are only *hints* - i.e. the window manager and the user are allowed to override them. Furthermore, some WMs are simply buggy or do not implement these, but all of the major ones do. The relevant standard together with the list of the most common WMs and their compliance is here: http://ww.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications_2fwm_2dspec In particular, you need this file: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html And this is the hint you are looking for (_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN): http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s05.html#id2522991 However, what you *definitely* should not try to detect which WM is running and hardwire some sorts of hacks for each. There is no standard and X11-sanctioned way of doing this, only OS-specific hacks which will break on different systems. Moreover, how do you deal with your application being run remotely over network, for example? This is a perfectly valid scenario when using X. Such approach is definitely un-scalable (there are hundreds of WMs in existence) and will inevitably break in some cases. Code for the standard (90% of Linux users are running Gnome or KDE which are compliant) and if the user is running a particular WM, well, he can always switch to another one which is not buggy.
