xfreerdp /multimon
This leads to a freerdp connection across multiple monitors at leaset in Debian GNOME.
In QubesOS R4.0 it does work in principle. A window as wide as the
set of monitors does get created. However, the fullscreen feature does
not work. As soon as one clicks fullscreen, the window gets confined to
one of the monitors. Of course, I did allow fullscreen as described here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/full-screen-mode/ And of corse, everything does work well with just one monitor connected. And yes, I do understand the security concept of normally not covering the entire screen but showng the window decorations including the VM color.
Is there a way to overcome that limitation? If "fullscreen" can be made to work across physical monitors in general, xfreerdp /multimon should work as well.
Thank you very much!

Dear Vít Šesták,
Thank you very much! Indeed, fullscreen is possible with and without the allow_fullscreen setting. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way out of the problem that this does work only in a single monitor mode (literally full monitor instead of full screen).

Taskbar: that's why I wrote this:

BTW, you can enter fullscreen in a similar way, even without allow_fullscreen. And you can probably configure shortcuts…
