Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

i'm testing Ubuntu Lucid on a Netbook
using latest build from the regular lucid beta repos Nautilus 2.30.0
i expected Nautilus to go into full screen on my 10" display, after pressing F11
against my expectation, Nautilus did not go into full screen.

this is inconsistent with the other Gnome applications and inconsistent with Gnome's Usability Principles in general.

lack of full screen functionality also is a serious usability issue on smaller screens and in context with an activities based window management configuration

where do i manipulate accessible code in order to add "full screen" to the view part of the application's main menu?

upstream closed the bug considerer that the maximized view on the current desktops is close enough from that (you just get a small panel at the top)
