Indeed; I'm just trying to ensure there's clarity.

So, if you fullscreen your window (using the standard
gtk_window_fullscreen()?) and have a HildonEditToolbar[1], you get the
effect. The HildonEditToolbar "has a label and two buttons; one of
them being an arrow pointing backwards." It's *simulating* the same
controls that a non-fullscreen window would get from the WM.

Presumably one shouldn't allow the user to unfullscreen such a window.
Also what about the impact on themeing, menus & AppMenus?

My initial thought is that the app fullscreen/unfullscreening itself
(well, remembering the previous fullscreen state) sounds like an ugly
hack, and that the use of this should be discouraged.

Cheers,

Andrew
