Updates: Status: Fixed Comment #3 on issue 410 by wirtwo...@gmail.com: Real fullscreen support without floating http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=410 In 0.10 XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen.fullscreenFull provides a non-floating fullscreen implementation. Dragging the window will still float it as it would any window. That seems unlikely to be problematic for most users. XMonad.Layout.NoBorders.lessBorders allows more choices for when borders are drawn than in past releases, including making these windows borderless with multiple monitors. Closing for now. Please re-open if there are use-cases not addressed by the current contrib offerings. If ignoring certain events for fullscreened windows is important please open a new issue.
