I note that under ion, mplayer fullscreen mode goes to what appears to be a new workspace. Maybe this is a usable trick, or maybe it's just an awful hack. Mike David Roundy wrote:
kpdf and evince fullscreen modes are also broken, and kpdf generally strikes me as a pretty well-written program. I have no idea what hints or tricks are supposed to make full-screen mode work, but am pretty certain that xmonad doesn't understand them properly. It's a shame, because it's one of the easier requests to handle! (But I have no idea how to fix it myself, so I'm part of the problem...)

FWIW I've found mplayer to behave pretty badly under xmonad. Sometimes when I've used it the display doesn't come up at all, other times it comes up fine. I'm not sure if this is the fault of xmonad or mplayer (mplayer is one of the least stable Linux applications I know of).

- it is possible to switch from one desktop to one other using Mod+[1..9]. Is it possible to configure Xmonad to switch to the next, previous desktop using Mod+Sift+(lsft/right) ? Yes. My Config.hs contains this (in the definition of keys):
((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_Left), withWindowSet $ view . pred . W.tag . W.workspace . W.current), ((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_Right), withWindowSet $ view . succ . W.tag . W.workspace . W.current)
(Replace controlMask by shiftMask.)
- running mplayer in fullscreen (hit the f key in mplayer) does not fill the screen but the window. Some workarround exist (such as using Xmonad full screen or using the FindEmptyWorkspace module), but using the functionnality from mplayer would be greater. I don't have a real solution for this. I use XMonadContrib.SwitchTrans with mod+f bound to toggle fullscreen mode, which works good enough in practice.
