Firefox in LXDE Full Screen Problem
Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2010 11:10 pm
Hi my distro is Arch Linux. I installed the latest LXDE in their repo's. I did not have this problem in GNOME, but when I press F11 in Firefox to switch to full screen, it only removes the title bar and does not remove the menu bar, address bar, etc. If I click View->Full Screen, then it removes the menu bar etc appropriately. But the problem is if I press F11 again, it only brings back the title bar, not the menu bar (and I can't do View->Full Screen because the menu bar is hidden).
Are there any extra packages I need to enable Firefox to work correctly?
EDIT: Same exact problem with Opera, so I know it's something wrong with my system.
SOLVED: A setting in ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml seems to have been the culprit. Specifically, these three lines:
It seems that LXDE or Openbox was configured to remove the title bar when that key is pressed, and to not send the keypress event to the application. Commenting out these three lines seems to have fixed it, although I'm pretty sure changing it to another non-interfering keybind would work as well.

<keybind key="F11">
<action name="ToggleFullscreen"/>
