Full screen works fine with GTK 2.2.x, it is just that the 'stay above other
windows' option will be disabled.

If however you compile GQview on GTK+ 2.4 or 2.6 and then try to run it with a
GTK+ 2.2 library you will find GQview abort with a relocation error if the above
option is enabled.

Is it simply that you need the 'stay above other windows' option for you window
manager, or is there a bigger problem here?


GQview is still developed with GTK+ 2.2.4, I would like to bump the requirement
to 2.4, but then that leaves me out ;)

The requirement will be bumped before a stable GQview 1.6 release, and the
_only_ reason it has not happened yet is that I still use GTK+ 2.2.4 on my main
machine - which will be updated when I upgrade my distro sometime soon.


Note: I agonized over adding a feature option that only works with GTK 2.4, but
it seems people need this now so it went into the development release. 


Greetings,
John
