I see such option could be useful, but this is IMO different feature. The current one allow you to make application full screen when *you* want, without changing additional settings. This is useful for example for watching movies. I wouldn't trust my movies VM that much to give it permission to voluntary switch to fullscreen, but on the other hand, it would be inconvenient to change some setting each time I want to watch something. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
