OK I stand corrected about other applications.

But still must agree with hb that Okular makes it difficult to know how 
to get out of full-screen. Sure, people who are committed users of KDE 
probably know Ctrl-Shift-F, but Okular is really a basic application 
that is widely used by beginners (in my experience and household). So 
it's hard to see why you wouldn't make it as easy as possible to get out 
of full-screen, if not with escape then with something else that a naive 
user would easily find. If consistency among KDE apps is a priority, 
then why not a 'Close' button?

I see that there was a pretty heated discussion some years back about 
the best key combination for getting into full-screen: 
http://git.net/ml/kde-usability/2009-06/msg00000.html Central to this 
discussion was what users were used to, which is even more critical when 
leaving full-screen, since at least if you can't get into full-screen 
you can still use the computer, but if find yourself locked in to 
full-screen then you are really blocked from doing anything.

Cheers, Jonathan
