If I start the application with command line parameters that will make
it try to get fullscreen mode, then:
- the current layout of the workspace is ignored, and the xpdf window
indeed fill the whole workspace.
- the keys for cycling through windows in the current workspace are
ignored. (keys for switching to another workspace still works).
The first behaviour is not really a problem, but the second is
ennoying. It makes fullscreen-mode usable only with one window per
workspace.
examples of problematic apps/parameters
xpdf -fullscreen
rdesktop -f
Other applications, like mplayer and zathura, does the right thing,
they honor the size of the window that the windowmanager gives them
AND they are willing to be cycled into smaller windows.
My version of xmonad is from debian squeeze:
