Tue Jul 6 20:57:51 CEST 2010 Tomas Janousek * X.H.EwmhDesktops: advertise fullscreen in _NET_SUPPORTED and handle it by default

This is a bit questionable, I know. There must have been a reason why fullscreenEventHook isn't used by default, but I feel that it should be advertised only if it's used, so I did it this way. Should ewmh take a flag that can turn off fullscreen support? Is there a way to make the list of supported NETWM props easily extensible?

The current fullscreenEventHook simply fullfloats the window and tiles it when it requests to unfullscreen, which is a bit questionable since the window might not have been tiled before it was fullscreened. I am currently experimenting with broadcasting a layout message instead of fullfloating it, so that the layout itself (or a layout modifier) can handle fullscreening. This lets you do neat things like making the window fullscreen only if it is focused. However, floating windows are event harder to handle in this mode. In conclusion, I'd prefer if it was kept out of the default for now. -- Audun Skaugen
