Comment 13 for bug 777567

Heyo!

Ran into this one today. I've made a ton of art using inkscape over the last few years and have had this come up a few times. Usually I just carry on and, at some indiscriminant point in the future, inkscape returns to working form. I figured out how to fix it on purpose today.

**Here's the trick if this happens to you:**
Just open the file you want to open by double-clicking it wherever it's located. Voila, you're out of fullscreen.

If you try to boot-up inkscape itself by opening the program, you'll still be trapped.

I have no idea why this happens nor why it works, but I ran into an issue with some similar behavior a few months ago and for some reason made the connection. I tried it out today when thinking through the problem and it worked, so I hope it works for everyone else forever!
