[Xquartz-dev] Xquartz-dev Digest, Vol 14, Issue 42

[Kyle Lucke]

I'll second a request for this.  This is exactly how I would like  
fullscreen mode to work.  Having the standard title bar taking up  
space on my second display is the only thing that really ends up  
bugging me with 2.3.1.

I don't remember doing anything special to make this work back in  
10.4.x, I think that's just how it worked.  My memory is admittedly a  
little fuzzy, though.
