Public bug reported: I actually found this very nice when i was using a program i did in java that uses a fake full screen technique that removes decorations.
It preserved the rounded corners of the frame even without the decorations and that allowed me to access the activities tab in fullscreen (unlike say, gnome-terminal or firefox). Pity it doesn't work if the window is not at least decorated and visible once (on deserialization, if i go into fake fullscreen mode, the window is square as normally, because; i guess; it never had a decoration that needed a window shaping). Anyway, RFE: a great bug i'd like to see in the original toolkit.
