I was a big user if Galeon's fullscreen mode when I had an 800x600
screen.  Too many Web sites cannot be seen correctly on small screens. 
Until most of the Web sites are made for users, and not the creators,
fullscreen is more usable for browsing.

But I do think we need some rules when using it.  Alt-tab is busted in
Galeon's fullscreen mode.  There should be button to normal mode, and
something that gives access to apps outside the browser.
