I'm trying to set VRPC up to give me the simple and productive option of switching between full screen PC or full screen RPC, roughly emulating the effect of a KVM switch between a PC and a real RPC. I would have thought this was the most obvious need for a lot of users, once you get past the "Ooh look, there's RISC OS running in a window" stage ;-)

1. Having set VRPC to start up in full-screen mode, there appears to be no way out of the full screen except by quiting VRPC entirely. Am I missing something? In my setup Alt+Enter does nothing once full-screen startup is configured.

2. I would suggest that an ideal setup (or at least a very standard requirement for many users) would be for VRPC to be able to start up minimised on the toolbar. One click would give full screen mode and Alt+Enter would return VRPC to its minimised-on-toolbar state again. This would virtually replicate the action of a KVM switch, which is after all what a lot of RISC OS transferees will have been using previously.

Am I missing a setting combination somewhere? Is the above setup possible, and if not, surely it should be? At the moment I have to go through long-winded intermediate window sizes in order to get what I need, and it's a right pain.
