If the window was maximised, like in gnome-documents.

Is this something we want to do in totem nonetheless. I think this is highly dependent on the application, for example, Boxes does it (used to do it?) when starting a VM. Except that the VM isn't available right away. Maybe it makes sense for videos...

Created attachment 268673 [details] [review] main: Fullscreen when playback starts And the window is maximised.
Review of attachment 268673 [details] [review]: Looks good.
I was one of the original proponents of the automatic maximized>fullscreen behavior, but in practice it didn't work well for Documents, Boxes. It felt unexpected. I think going fullscreen (no chrome) needs to be an explicit user action and wouldn't specialcase Videos. I have updated the original wires — https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/WindowStates
This is a NAK then. Closing.
