[Eric] Eric always runs "fullscreen"

[Henrik Pauli]

Strange and familiar!

What kind of desktop environment are you using?

I've been seeing the same thing happening to Gwenview on MATE (on 
Fedora), which is another QWidget app.  The full screen mode there is a 
slide show mode — so I was pretty sure it's just the window manager 
hints that are messed up.  Switched to Kwin, as there I can at least 
toggle various flags like the frameless mode.  Lo and behold it began to 
work after that.  Of course switching back to marco (which used to be 
metacity IIRC) turned it back to full screen again.  I haven't found a 
proper solution yet.
