While understand the motivation, as someone who uses Qt on 2+ platforms I 
respectfully disagree with the choice/conclusion. Qt goes to great lengths to 
make itself behave the same way on all platforms, and this goes against that. 
IMHO one should be ENABLING additional functionality and not REWORKING 
existing code just get back the functionality one already had on other 
platforms. Add a -maemo command line switch (like -graphicssystem) or make it 
an #include, but don't change the default.

This has come up time and again on the garage forum, so I guess it's not 
exactly a white crow. I ran across this problem as my own pyqtoreader pet 
project suffered from full-screen issues on Maemo.

Also, it's not only about full-screen. It also limits configurability of 
shortcuts - if your application does not have non-fullscreen operation (like 
games), again, you'll have to work around to be able to make use of that 
button.
