An infinite while loop that uses wmctrl to force applications into fullscreen. I would seriously not recommend using that (is wmctrl even available for hildon?), because that should pretty much peg the cpu at 100%...A hack to hildon-desktop would be much better.
Anyone good at reverse engineering stuff? (hildon-desktop is closed source, isn't it?).
Question: would modifying hildon-desktop also get rid of the app sidebar on the homescreen, or would there be some specific applicaiton-window-control-mechanism that would control this for all applications? Sort of some kind of "full-screen on launch" bit that would be touched?

devilspie is an application that could do that on a Linux desktop. I think it shouldn't be too hard to port it over to maemo. It doesn't require much.

But considering that Matchbox is the window manager, you'd wanna hack http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...indow-manager/ instead.

Wow, devilspie is powerful stuff. "echo '(fullscreen)' > ~/.devilspie/fullscreen.ds" and every window was forced into submission! (On a desktop, libwnck is a little tricky to compile for diablo unless you opt for a really old version)

Pretty simple:
Add Ubuntu repository and install xbindkeys and wmctrl.
Then do like qole said here:
add
to your /home/user/.xbindkeysrc
Then you can add Personal Menu item for xbindkeys or just run it from terminal. After running xbindkeys, either as user or as root, you will be able to fullscreen any app
Add Ubuntu repository and install xbindkeys and wmctrl.
Then do like qole said here:
add
Code:
"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen" F6

Am I to assume that this would be something that cannot be implemented on a global basis then?
Kinda sucks if that's the case; really would make using some apps a lot easier if they just remembered full-screen or not ya know.
