Hi,
I saw when you press F11 in a wayland window, the window will turn to
"fullscreen" which means it will do the same crap as it does in X:
Setting the window to overlap all windows, set the position to 0,0 and
the size to w,h.
As you see in X, this concept is not really a concept, it's a hack
that makes linux unusable for gaming or other fullscreen applications
because you cannot switch a program without closing the fullscreen
window first.
What I want for wayland is this:
diff --git a/protocol/wayland.xml b/protocol/wayland.xml
index 13c71bd..f91d937 100644
--- a/protocol/wayland.xml

I hope, the patch will be applied and the function will be implemented
(if not, i will do)
