I recently installed xinit and the PDF viewers Evince and Zathura. I'm
starting X via startxwin which puts it in multiwindow mode. Both of
the PDF viewers work fine, except when I press F11 to view a PDF
fullscreen, nothing changes.
Is this an inherent limitation of Cygwin/X, or a problem with my
config or these particular applications? Should it be possible to make
an X application fullscreen while running in multiwindow mode?
The multiwindow-mode window manager doesn't support or advertise support
for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, so this doesn't work at the moment.
So, technically I guess this an application/toolkit problem, as it
should notice that lack of support and e.g. grey-out the fullscreen
option in the menu.
But ideally this would be fixed by adding support for
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN to the WM.
