xpdf has a switch that enables it to show a PDF in fullscreen. However, when doing this, it seems like xfwm4 resizes it again to keep it within the desktop size. Fluxbox handles this correctly Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start xpdf with a pdf in fullscreen: "xpdf -fullscreen some.pdf" 2. xpdf resizes so it fills the entire screen 3. xfwm4 resizes it to have the borders and window stay on screen. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: Expected xpdf to fill up the entire screen with the PDF.
I consider this as a bug in xpdf, sorry. There is a stadard way to achieve fullscreen, plus xfwm4 already has hooks for old "legacy" apps that don't follow the standards. I don't plan to add yet another hook just for xpdf...
Okay, fair enough. Thanks for the answer. Couldn't locate a bugzilla for xpdf, so have tried filing it with Gentoo instead, will see what happens now :-)
