fullscreen on ubuntu 10.10

fullscreen on ubuntu 10.10

[Andrea Crotti]

I use this function to go to fullscreen
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun full (&optional f)
  (interactive)
  (if
      mac
      ;; included in emacs 23.2
      ;; FIXME: the ns version doesn't take the frame option
      (ns-toggle-fullscreen)
    (set-frame-parameter f 'fullscreen
                         (if (frame-parameter f 'fullscreen) nil 'fullboth))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and now it works perfectly on OSX, but on ubuntu 10.10 I get a really
huge minibuffer.  Anyone else has this problem?

Perhaps consider something like maxframe and only launch it under linux?

Read about maxframe and download it here:
