Description
I'm using X11 2.3.2_rc4 configured for "full screen" output.
My .xinitrc currently says:
exec icewm
When X11 is started as a side effect of starting an X11 app from the apple desktop the app shows up in "rootless" mode i.e. as a standalone window on the apple desktop. It is properly reparented by the icewm window manager and thus has a title bar supplied by icewm. As soon as X11 gets the focus, either by command-tab or by clicking on the new app X11 leaps happily into full screen mode and seems happy thereafter.
I would remark that it seems more tied to X11 getting the apple desktop focus than the "first app", because my earlier experiments using fvwm would show the new app and also some windows that FVWM would create during its startup.
Procedure:
- in preferences, choose full screen mode
- quit X11
- start an X11 app, it should appear on the apple desktop
- command-tab to X11, full screen mode should activate
