Proof that wmctrl usually works ∞

(on Blackbox 0.70.1)

1) Start xine windowed

xine dvd://

2) alt-tab back to your term

3) Prove that wmctrl can communicate to xine and fullscreen works:

wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen

(fullscreen now)

4) alt-tab back to your term (you might need to do it twice)

5) Prove that wmctrl can remove fullscreen:

wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen

(windowed now)

6) Another proof:

wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen

(fullscreen now)

wmctrl -r "xine" -b remove,fullscreen

(windowed now)

Proof of an issue when the app starts fullscreen ∞

1) Start xine fullscreen

xine -f dvd://

2) Now alt-tab back out to your term. You might have to click on the xine window for alt-tab to work.

3) try to remove fullscreen

This does not do anything:

wmctrl -r "xine" -b remove,fullscreen

This does not do anything:

wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen
