5s - ouch. And it won't help if the cat walked across the
unattended laptop to warm its feet.

How about keeping the status line at the bottom, with
"Press F11 to go back.  []Check this box to get rid of this distracting 
status line."

And if you ever want the status line back, uncheck the
"[X] hide the status line in full-screen mode" from the GUI preferences 
dialog.
