I think that it depends on application to which 'window' (global root
or monitor root) it attaches its fullscreen mode. If you press META +
"Return", then WGroup.set_fullscreen() is launched. This function
either leaves fullscreen from the windowmanager point of view or it
enters the fullscreen mode back. This function always attaches window
to a monitor root. Maybe we can include similar function in
mod_xinerama, that always attaches a window to global root, so users
can choose to which root the fullscreen will be attached, as both ways
make sense.
