Bug Description

Both webbrowser-app and webapp-container advertise a "--fullscreen" command-line switch to allow running applications fullscreen.

However this doesn’t work: the window is briefly shown fullscreen, and then restored to its normal state. This is most likely because of this code snippet in webbrowser-app.qml (and its counterpart in webapp-container.qml):

     visibility: browser.currentWebview && browser.currentWebview.fullscreen ? Window.FullScreen : Window.AutomaticVisibility

The value for 'visibility' needs to take into account the --fullscreen command-line switch.

---------------
webbrowser-app (0.23+15.04.20141104.1-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=low

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced

  [ Riccardo Padovani ]
  * Added new upstream components to fit with design requests: multiple
    selection in History, standard swipe-to-delete. (LP: #1351167)

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Do not use a custom scheme to trigger the error page, this won’t
    work any longer as soon as oxide learns how to delegate unhandled
    schemes (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1384460). (LP: #1384460)
  * Ensure that the 'dataLocation' context property is updated when the
    application name changes. (LP: #1387754)
  * Really honour the --fullscreen command-line switch. (LP: #1379766)
