I tried out META+Return, as you suggest.
The first time I press that, I get another tabbed window containing the picture (which should be full-screen).
The second time I press that, I get the full-screen window in full-screen, yay :)
The third time is like the first and so on.
What can I do to make this happen automatically for geeqie without having to press META+Return twice?

(Btw, the dock apps are on top of the fullscreen window)
