Ooops, In fact fvwm (2.5.x branch) does not support
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, I do not see how to implement this without a
new command or a new option to Maximize "fullscreen" which will remove
the decoration, maximize and possibly put the window into layer +2
(and keep in memory what is needed to restore the window). I've planed
to do this so fvwm claim to support _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN this is a
bug. Two possible fixes: add this fullscreen option to Maximize or
remove _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN from the list of the supported EWMH
stuff.
