This should not be an issue with your Linux distro, in
all likelihood.

It works for me, from the/a terminal as well as from Emacs
with M-x switch-full-screen RET

It is executed, maybe you don't notice the change?

Try removing the maximized_vert and maximized_horz properties,
or set the window size manually to something small, so you can

fullscreen command as above - should work, right?
