Because freeciv uses all the F keys for something it would be quite annoying to have to find new keybindings for it (unless its simply an exception to the general rule) > Alt+Enter never strongly suggested "full-screen" to me.

Sounds like a nice way to handle it (though in gnome it would be alt+tab and alt+f1 i suppose). thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
