You'll need to have available CTWM's workspace virtual screens.

See at the top right, there are 5 virtual screens and you use one of
them with the desktop background exposed

from the fullboth Emacs windowframe switch to a specific virtual
screen with a  keychord such as super-N or mod4-N where N is a number,
or where N is an arrow key left/right.

Could send a signal to tell the CTWM process to restart and reload.

Anyway, both Firefox and Chrome will F11 fullscreen and CTWM restart
will let their windowframe dimension persist.

Firefox on `maximize' window, zoom leaves no gap at the bottom edge.

The xterm running emacsclient that is in fullscreen evaluating

        (set-frame-parameter nil 'tty-color-mode 'yes)
        (set-face-attribute 'default nil :background "red")

turns the background color red.

Some more details looking at the dimensions on the xterm are as follows.

  // after many CTWM restarts

I'll do the source patch and gdb backtrace when I get a chance to.
