Hi all! First of all, love the implementation, have tested on OSX and
Ubuntu so far and great job.

My only gripe is the lack of documentation, and I'm happy to help out
there, but I could really do with knowing if there is a way to exit
full screen mode when in Linux client.

Thanks

Same here. How can you exit full-screen mode?

Thanks

unfortunately, there isn't. the best workaround i can suggest is to
use a large or custom window size instead.

I stumbled on the answer. Use ALT-RightMouseButton. This creates a
pop-up menu, choose the Minimize option.

The key sequence for Minimize is given as ALT-F(, but that doesn't
work.

have that same issue.  change your sourcelist to download the latest open client.  here's the link, this is what I used for my lubuntu livecd.

Thanks, that works, although sporadically.  After invoking the menu a few times, it stops popping up, and the only way to get out of full screen mode is to disconnect from the client.
