Hello.
First off, thanks again for your exceptionally prompt responses!   :-)
They are really appreciated.


I managed to clone the git repository branch corresponding to this PR.
I built a Debian package out of it and tested it.

As far as single screen mode is concerned, the behavior seems to be
unchanged with respect to version 4.0.5 : in other words, with

  $ pdfpc -Ss foo.pdf

fullscreen is not completely achieved, since the window title bar is
still visible. And no trick seems to work around the bug.


On the other hand, the situation is slightly better, as far as dual
screen mode is concerned. With

  $ pdfpc foo.pdf

fullscreen is sometimes completely achieved on both screens, without
the need to perform any tricks.
Unfortunately, in some other cases, fullscreen is immediately achieved
for the presentation screen (the one the audience will see), but
requires the previously described trick for the presenter screen (where
the window title bar is still visible, until I move the mouse to the
bottom-right corner).

I performed a number of tests, but I was not able to understand why
fullscreen sometimes works immediately for both screens, while it does
not in other cases.
It seems to be completely random. If I try with the same file a number
of times:

  $ pdfpc foo.pdf
  $ pdfpc foo.pdf
  $ pdfpc foo.pdf
  $ pdfpc foo.pdf
  $ pdfpc foo.pdf

it works in some of the tries, but it fails in the other ones.
I would like help you more, but I am puzzled. Sorry...  :-(
