actually, lxde does supprt _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN
and changing
 XSendEvent(stDisplay, DefaultRootWindow(stDisplay), False,
SubstructureNotifyMask, &xev);
to
 XSendEvent(stDisplay, DefaultRootWindow(stDisplay), False,
SubstructureRedirectMask | SubstructureNotifyMask, &xev);

makes fullscreen switching working with LXDE (and twm!).
