I see. That strikes me as rather counterintuitive. I would have thought that
"allow_fullscreen" governs whether fullscreen is permitted *at all* (as
opposed to merely "autonomously"). Given the way it actually works, a user who
wants to disallow fullscreen under *any* circumstances (including to protect
herself from her own potential mistakes) has no recourse.
