Fullscreen challenge

Hello, all.

Like many before me, I'm trying to get Konq/E to run in fullscreen mode.
I've read some previous messages on this list concerning the subject, and
I'm almost there, but there's just one last thing to get out of the way (see
end of message).
(BTW, this was all tried on the Zaurus SL-A300.)

To get rid of the tool bar, I compiled it with --enable-xmlui and emptied
out the konqe.rc file.  This worked beautifully.

The only thing that worked to set it to full screen mode was calling
showFullScreen() on the top widget in main.

These tries failed:

I took a look at the fullscreen howto on the Zaurus developer site, but the
final code doesn't seem to apply too well to the Konq/E code, so I gave up
on that.
http://docs.zaurus.com/index.php?id=fullscreen_howtos

I tried swtiching DEFAULT_WINSTYLE to MainWindowBase::STYLE_FULLSCREEN in
defaults.h, because I read this in a previous ML message, but that didn't do
anything.

I made sure that command line options were compiled, and I called it
with --fullscreen, but the error "Malformed URL file" appeared.
-- Then I read in a previous message that if compiling for QPE, command line
options aren't supported.  :^P
(BTW, on entering a file path to an HTML file instead, the error didn't
appear, but neither did the page. - it was completely white.)


Well, so now I can at least get a temporary full screen with no tool bar,
but there's still a thin border around the page, which I also want to get
rid of.  I read that STYLE_FULLSCREEN is supposed to get rid of this, too.
Is that true?  If it won't work, would I have to change the window style of
the html view widget in the source?

Does anyone have an answer to this?
Thx in advance.

Matt K
