In earlier versions of xmonad, when pressing the full screen button while watching a flash-movie, a new window would be opened, integrated in whichever layout one was using at the time, and the video, now running in "full-screen-mode", would take as much screen-real-estate as xmonad was willing to let it have.

I do not see a problem here, since the "not-full-screen-mode" works exactly as you want. What program do you use to play movies, mplayer?

I think he is talking about what most programs do when they go to "full screen", namely remove all decoration and only show the central part (of whatever it is they do). Therefor there can be a tremendous difference between how a program uses the available screen-real-estate in full-screen and not-full-screen.

Yeah, this is exactly what I was talking about. I use the Adobe Flash-Payer 10.0.22.87 to watch movie in Firefox. Now, I realized that not all programs act as above. For example, when you go into full-screen with xpdf, it acts just as expected, i.e. xpdf simply removes all decoration and only show the central part, the document. Cheers, Thomas
