The fullscreen support uses _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN wm hints. I don't
think that one supports it. They talk about support _NET hints in the
TODO file; http://kymatica.bitminds.net/rox/OroboROX/TODO

The complete support comes with using the xvidmod extension, but it's a
bit more complicated to implement.
