The problem with floating is that it toggles the client state. If initially treated as floating window, it will toggle to the tiled/monocle/.. layout. If then toggled back to floating, it won't be resized to fullscreen mode. This sucks more imho. For such clients you could introduce a rule that forces fullscreen clients into tiled mode to get the behavior you are after. Probably a small adjustment to the fullscreen handling needs to be done to achieve this. Best regards, Anselm
