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.
