Hmm. All applictaions I know have some visual clue to get out of the
fullscreen mode (look Firefox, MsWord, Konqueror, etc.). Maybe showing a
passive popup for 5 seconds the first time with the message "To return to
normal mode, type F11"
5s - ouch. And it won't help if the cat walked across the
unattended laptop to warm its feet.
How about keeping the status line at the bottom, with
"Press F11 to go back. []Check this box to get rid of this distracting
status line."
And if you ever want the status line back, uncheck the
"[X] hide the status line in full-screen mode" from the GUI preferences
dialog.
