[xmonad] smartBorders and fullscreen Firefox

[Audun Skaugen]

Hi,
I remember having the same issue when using xmonad. The reason is that  
smartBorders only activate when a floating window covers the entire  
screen, not when a tiled window covers the screen. I guess it could be  
modified to be effective on both cases.

My (very lacking) workaround was to turn off borders completely and use  
XMonad.Hooks.FadeInactive to distinguish focus instead.
