Hi. I am trying to use EWMH to fullscreen windows under a number of
wm's claiming compliance.
I've attached the code I'm currently using for this. The relevant
function is fullscreenEWMH(), about 40 lines. The other 3 functions are
internal or for checking compliance.
Anyway, so far this works on fvwm and problematically on metacity -- it
will work when called on a window from a separate process, but not if
included in application code. I've had a few suggestions from the
metacity-devel list (which appears abandoned) and xdg suggesting
setting the 4th element of the Xevent.data array to 1 or 2; this does
not help. I'm also uncertain as to what event mask to use.
I'd also like to find out why XSendEvent always returns 1
('BadRequest'), regardless of whether the request works or not.
Thanks in advance.

Some window managers (eg. metacity) really don't like glutFullScreen (Motif

Hopefully they are EWMH compliant! */
