only if you dont have another app running, and since that is
impossible with XaAES, you will always have the "switch app" key combo
to get you out of trouble. But that app would still be in fullscreen
mode when you came back to it (in theory).

bad programming to enable fullscreen in app without way to
"un-fullscreen" that app.. send bad programmer to Jail, do not pass
Go, do not collect 200  :)

Anyone know of fullscreen app/game for Magic, where source is
available, or specific part of source can be made available for ref.

What about graphics programs, Smurf (in SpareMiNT repo) etc..

Remember not to force menu off in fullscreen mode by AES, as progammer
may want temp menu access, eg mouse in top 1/2px turn on menu bar,
then go/click outside menu/menu bar turn off again

so fullscreen mode (from AES point of view) really means:
window with no window decorations, dont draw "other app" (or desktop)
menu bar over current fullscreen window (ie may be more than one app
running in fullscreen mode), unless application switched 1st (may even
then user setting "continue to show fullscreen app under current app
window and menu bar after app switch" eg keep_fullscreen_windows=no)
