Xfce 4.2 RC1: Firefox fullscreen behaviour

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi

Your version of firefox doesn't use EWHM hints to achieve fullscreen
(mine does, but I compiled it with GTK2, don't know if that make a
difference)

Anyway, use Alt+F22 to force real fullscreen (and that works with any
application that can be as wide as the size of your screen)

HTH
Olivier.
