There never was fullscreen mode in (Lib)VLC core, for there never was 
platform-specific window management in the core.

There were, and there still are functions to control fullscreen mode in 
LibVLC. But they just defer to the platform-specific plug-ins, like they 
always did.

Windowing was split from the video output plug-ins to dedicated window 
management plug-ins, including fullscreen mode management.

In embedded mode (drawable on Win32, xcb_window on X11), fullscreen mode 
cannot be provided since it breaks embedding. So LibVLC fullscreen function 
have no effects while embedding is in use. This limitation is unavoidable 
without breaking things and is clearly documented in Doxygen.

I answered myself above. Fullscreen mode cannot be managed by (Lib)VLC while 
the video is embedded, including in a web browser.

However, this commit is about DVD menu. I guess it really is about input 
events. And for that, my question remains.
