Most fullscreen apps work (like firefox, mplayer), but others cause problems (luakit and libreoffice-impress).

Luakit goes fullscreen pressing "F11", but after pressing this key again, it doesn't come out of the fullscreen mode anymore. Nothing happens. I tried with a new user, so the configuration is pure vanilla. The version of luakit I used to test monsterwm-xcb is the most recent git snapshot from today, january 16th, 2012.

With libreoffice-impress it behaves differently: I open a presentation (I tested with a docx document, don't have another presenation at hand, but this shouldn't matter), press "F5" to enter the presentation mode. Now a new window opens, which gets floated as usual. But this new window should be the fullscreen window. I can make it being fullscreen by switching to the fullscreen mode and hiding the bar, but that's not the way it should be ;) A video shows it as well http://www.unstucc.de/myspace/fullscreen.mpeg

Cloudef, you already tested these issues, see here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1041786#p1041786 everything seems to be fine on your system. After your fixes, the behavior didn't change on my system. So I wonder, what's so different about our setups? What other informations can I deliver? I use monsterwm-xcb without any patches, my config.h looks like this right now http://codepad.org/1QXsKQq6
