Fullscreen GTK Emacs possible?

Fullscreen GTK Emacs possible?

[Enselic]

Hello,

Is there a fulll screen mode when Emacs is compiled --with-gtk?
rgrepping the source for fullscreen gives many hits, but I'm not sure
if that is the fullscreen I want, or if it is, how to activate it.

By fullscreen I mean that the main window would expand to fill the
whole screen, including putting itself over panels. If you have
Firefox I would like to be able to get the same effect in Emacs as I
get when I press F11 in Firefox.

If this is not currently possible, where in the code would such a
change be made? gtkutil.c?

If you don't want to do it programatically, just by keypresses, the
easiest option for you is to use your window manager's keybindings. For
instance, I have Alt+F11 bound to toggle_fullscreen action in metacity.

To make a fullscreen frame:

(make-frame '((fullscreen . fullboth)))

To change the current frame from fullscreen to non-fullscreen.

(modify-frame-parameters nil '((fullscreen . nil)))

You can all pass --fullscreen as an option when invoking Emacs from
the command line.

You can get a fullscreen using devilspie, it works great.
