The first time I tried this, it worked; pushing the "Full Screen" 
button on gwenview put the full screen mode of gwenview into gwenview's 
window and did not expand the window.  Then I removed the rule, and full 
screen in gwenview worked again.  Then I thought "Wait, what about GTK+ 
applications?"  I put the rule back.  Gimp's full screen mode went to 
full screen, which I sort of expected.  So did gwenview's, which I did 
not.

And now every application is able to go full screen, regardless of the 
rule's presence.  I'm a bit confused as to why it'd work the first time 
and not the second time.
