It should be possible to find out what geometry the window is asking for. You could use that to decide whether the requested geometry is "big enough" to put full-screen or not. From looking at the source of `doFloat` in xmonad-core, I would guess `liftX . floatLocation` will give you the requested geometry in a `ManageHook`-friendly way.

Hi!

I'm a happy xmonad user since a couple of years now. Previously I managed to successfully set it up the way I wanted under Ubuntu using Gnome2 but recently I decided I wanted to try something new and installed xfce (xubuntu), under which I'm having some trouble setting the fullscreen functionality which for some reason was working flawlessly under ubuntu 14.04.

I have problems getting fullscreen applications to work. Specifically showing media. I have been able to apply the workaround to float VLC but it's a bit annoying since I don't always want to have it fullscreen all the time and I haven't been able to find a good way of switching back and forth. In old Ubuntu 14.04 setup this was just working. In there any other way to solve this than the doFullFloat for VLC?
