Well, the full-screen feature itself may be a quirk (is it?), but the
way to trigger it should still be in line with the rest of GNOME--
that's what makes it the GNOME Terminal.

(And so it is-- View>Full Screen or F11 shortcut, same as Epiphany and
EOG, and Firefox.  They all handle getting back out of the mode slightly
differently though, which isn't so good...)

Ah, there's the rub.  Probably not, sounds like a pretty specialised use
case to me.

Cheeri,
