There is still another problem with fullscreen mode. I've some "On
Top" stacking windows (pager, iconbox...). If I fullscreen some
applications (mplayer in X mode (sdl works), gthumb,...) the "On Top"
windows are still on top. Perhaps E should set a fullcreen window
automatic as the most "On Top" window. But this has also other
problems. For example blender is a fullscreen window, but opens new
normal windows. So if blender is "On Top" all new windows open
"behind" it.
Blender is actually not a fullscreen app in the sense that it does not
use the _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN hint but is a normal window requesting
to be borderless and occupy the entire screen.
Just an example of something that doesn't simplify the issue.
Perhaps it's a solution if E changes all "On Top" windows to normal
windows if one window has fullscreen and after fullscreen the windows
get their "On Top" back. Perhaps it's a solution to make this
configurable for users who like this?
I don't like the princple that the appearance of one window changes
stacking properties of other windows. That just seems wrong to me.
We can have multiple fullscreen windows on separate areas/desktops,
should the existence of those affect stacking on desktops without
fullscreen windows? Should we restack when entering/leaving a view
containg a fullscreen window? I think that would be messy.
Or should I write this topic in a bug report?
Feel free to file a bug report. However, I don't expect to change
anything until somebody comes up with a really good plan on how to do
this right.
