The problem is that kodi does not use the default window manager
(Xfce), so when it goes full screen there is no title bar, nada, not
even a line around the 'window.'
But I have made progress. After searching some more I discovered that
kodi has a folder ~/.kodi which has all kinds of options, including a
file guisettings.xml that contained a line:
<startupwindow default="true">10000</startupwindow>
So I changed 'true' to 'false', save the file and re-started kodi. It
still came up full screen, but now it responds to Alt-Enter to make it
behave. Still no title bar with corner icons, but it has its own exit
button.
