Looks like this was documented on this page:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/config-files/
But not on the fullscreen mode page. I've updated the latter.
Here's the relevant portion:
"Regardless of the settings [in /etc/qubes/guid.conf], you can always
put a window into fullscreen mode using the trusted window manager by
right-clicking on a window’s title bar and selecting 'Fullscreen'."
The new functionality should still be considered safe, since a VM
window still can't voluntarily enter fullscreen mode. The user has to
select this option from the trusted window manager in dom0.

Perfect! Thanks for pointing that out. It may also be useful to mention the
ALT+SPACE XFCE shortcut.
