Re: Etch Gnome Acroread -- full screen behavior
Yeah, that is really annoying. I can give you a work around and although
it works, it is also annoying:
1) Enable auto-hide for each panel
2) Go to the Configuration Editor->apps->panel->bottom_panel_screen0 and
set the auto_hide_size to zero manually. Do the same for
top_panel_screen0.
Then when you launch acroread in fullscreen mode, you will not see the
panels. You can turn the auto-hide off from the panel menu when you
are done.
Please let me know if you find a better way.
