Description Alexander Larsson 2010-06-24 06:40:42 UTC

The current implementation of fullscreen in the X11 backend has multiple issues.

For instance:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482302
When exiting from full screen mode ,spice window title bar is hidden by linux
panel.

In general its just not a good idea to try to handle WM/toplevel-window interaction in raw Xlib. We can use xlib to render in a window, but toplevel windows should be managed by a toolkit like e.g. Gtk+.

In KDE, when there are opened windows and spice is just opened, its screen is
sometimes hidden beneath other windows.
Spice should be opened above all the windows.

And:

In KDE - after toggling to full screen (shift+F11), toggling back wouldn't work 
without pressing the window first (i.e., turn it to be focused).

KDE dual monitor - full screen windows are not spread among monitors
