[xmonad] Yet another fullscreen thread...

[Daniel Wagner]

It should be possible to find out what geometry the window is asking for.
You could use that to decide whether the requested geometry is "big enough"
to put full-screen or not. From looking at the source of `doFloat` in
xmonad-core, I would guess `liftX . floatLocation` will give you the
requested geometry in a `ManageHook`-friendly way.
