(Dear bot, I don't believe this has been fixed upstream ;-))

The bug has been closed upstream, but i could not find any fixes associated
with them. On top, upstream seems to be reluctant to implement "boderless windows" support,
despite this is the (usual) way how to handle it… Sigh. I guess this is nothing we can
fix from Debian side…

Upstream seems to suggest to use windowed mode and then use DE means (e.g keyboard combination)
to switch that window to fullscreen. This only works if fullscreen mode is disabled in
~/.minetest/minetest.conf -- the default value is "disabled".

(FTR, in GNOME you have to set the keyboard shortcut in the Settings first, as it is disabled
by default. Afterwards, that shortcut will maximize the minetest window as expected.)

I'm downgrading this bug and leave it open to document the workaround.

Cheers,
