I was using spicec client (which you referred as "old"), so I will also try with the spice-gtk client to reproduce.

In my setup, I have a big VGA monitor (22") with 1920x1080 resolution, and below it, I have my laptop screen (1280x800). For example, I adjust 2nd screen to match the laptop resolution (ie 1280x800), so I get a 2nd window matching this in my host. I want to maximize this window in the laptop screen such that it covers the entire screen (since resolutions match) --> fullscreen. We can image the same thing if the 1st window (ie 1920x1080) also matches the VGA monitor at 1920x1080. It shall also be "fullscreen-able". In the current client, if I set a 2nd monitor of 1280x800, I get this window in the host system, I move it to the laptop screen (at 1280x800 also), but I have to deal with the window borders and it can't be fully occupying the whole screen in that monitor. Hope I could explain myself :) It would be good, if we could double click any client window border and it can become fullscreen in the monitor it is residing, with a key-press option to return to a window mode (ie CTRL+ALT+ENTER etc.). With this, I could have a virtual system exactly as if I'm working on real hardware. -- Emre
