FVWM: Re: Mozilla/Firebird FullScreen issues

Hello,

First some clarifications. 2.5.8 support the ewmh way to go full screen
(_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN) and 2.5.7 does not. I can reproduce the
mozilla disappearing problem with 2.5.7, I cannot with 2.5.8.

One point is that an application (here mozilla) can use different
method to go full screen regardless the fact the wm support or not the
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN state. If you switch from 2.5.7 to 2.5.8 with
a restart, mozilla can think that 2.5.8 does not support the
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN state.

About layer. It will be good to have fullscreenLayer style, we have
not. But you should try:

        Style * EWMHUseStackingOrderHints

which puts (ewmh) full screen window at the default top layer.

Yes, when I test this my conclusion was that this is a mozilla bug
(mozilla ask this, maybe there is a style workaround).

For me this is 2.5.7?
