What about if we decide to say something like:
when receiving a wm_state_fullscreen client message
the wm is responsible for:
If the vidmod extension is present:
 - get the current modline (XF86VidModeGetModeLine)
 - get viewport position (XF86VidModeGetViewPort)
"the application should feet the entire screen" means 
it should have the sizes of the current modline and be
place according to the viewport position.

Otherwise, the screen sizes and 0 0 will be used.

Thoughts ?

Iban.
