Yes I can confirm, I dont know why, but the expand work fine.

It's simply because some websites use a new fullscreen JS API that allows HTML element to request fullscreen display. WebKitGTK supports this API but it's not enabled at runtime by default.

ephy-embed-prefs: Hardcode enable-fullscreen to TRUE

This change is required for websites (like Youtube) using the new
Javascript-based fullscreen API.

Note: It looks bad in WebKitGTK+ 1.7.2. Better wait the next release.

OK, feel free to commit when .3 is out.

WebKitGTK+ 1.7.3 was released today but ephy still requires 1.6.x. What's the plan about upgrading this requirement? Just to make sure :)

Now with a check for WebKitGTK+ 1.7.3.

Just require 1.7.3 in configure.ac, no need for this. Just commit it, no need to upload another patch :)

    This change is required for websites (like Youtube) using the new
    Javascript-based fullscreen API. Also bumped the WebKitGTK requirement
    to 1.7.3 in agreement with Xan. This release includes bug fixes
    related to fullscreen display of videos.
