Re: [AD] RFC - Linux WM Fullscreen Patch

[<beoran@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I also tested tabbing for ex_fs_window with the patch applied where
that worked and
tabbing was available. I had problems with compiz because Icouldn't
get tabbing to work for it in general, but for the rest all window
managers that did correctly handle a fullscreen window and supported
tabbing also handled tabbing from and to ex_fs_window correctly.

Kind Regards,

B.
