Hi Clemens!

Sorry for the late reply, I was quite busy this week...

I'm not sure what is the best answer to this question, since we though
the FullScreen mode (that is, the Managed Windows mode) as a "Desktop"
mode where each FullScreen is actually a separated VM/Separate Desktop,
so there was never a need to use more than one event pump.

I think the restriction of the single VM is just bogus, out of my mind I
can't see why having more than one FullScreen window in the same VM
would not work, and when you create a new FullScreen you should be able
to have an event pump for each FullScreen. I think we started
introducing this and there should be some code in
FullScreenWindowFactory that may be prepared to use different event
pumps, but I think we never tested this.
