Apparently we can get it for free when we will have moved to KDE.
The searches to solve this problem made me hit KDE documentation
and I realize this is the way to go.

Currently, to do it we must rip-off the KDE code.
Relevant code is in QWidget.cc for  QWidget::showFullScreen()
qwidget_x11.cpp                for qt_wait_for_window_manager(QWidget)


I have not yet made the connexion with the spec, KWin is said to be compliant.
But I am not sure that QWidget::showFullScreen() really uses that feature.
Otherwise, how kwin could guess to hide the window when moving to another
virtual desktop.
BTW: The QEvent seems only use by       qsizegrip.cpp.

See  http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/x187.html 
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN for the specif

At least this wild goose chase (so far) had taught me to appreciate KDE.
