Hi Jens,

I believe Pierre was talking about the _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS
extension, and you can verify whether openbox has it or not by running:

  xprop -root | grep _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS

There should be a line starting with "_NET_SUPPORTED(ATOM) = ..." with a
lot of extensions, including _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS if your window
manager supports it. I'll leave your other questions for someone with a
bit more knowledge in this area. :/

Regards,
Karl
