Well, the -fs has not been present in any released Emacs so far. That said, the extended window manager hints thing was added fairly recently, because that is what other people expect, i.e. like the mentioned evince. > > In case this is the intended behaviour: Which option do I pass to the > emacs command to have a fullscreen emacs which does _not_ cover the > window manager panels (ie gnome)?
