[xmonad] Yet another fullscreen thread...

[Bogdan Sinitsyn]

Windows usually request full-screen by setting _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, don't 
they? Anyway, for me full-screen VLC works using fullscreenSupport from 
X.L.Fullscreen without any workarounds. Thomas, do you have fullscreenSupport 
in your configuration?
