If I press F11 in my browser, my 17" monitor doesn't suddenly turn into a projector. When I think of "full screen" I generally mean "make the page take up the whole screen -- hide the browser chrome", not "turn this web page into a slide-show." Not that Opera's feature isn't useful: I'd just prefer it were called "Projection Mode" and not "Full Screen" to avoid this very confusion that you've called out in your message. Too late now though, I guess!
