I think shit+f11 does toggle fullscreen

It does, indeed. Still it'd be nice to have a context menu for that, too.

Not really. Context menu is for actions on boxes. As I said in bug#1299792, fullscreen should actually not happen in overview mode.

As for this bug itself, I don't really see users launching with --fullscreen a lot to warrant spending time on adding an option to set display as well. User can always drag the window to the desired display and fullscreen easily.
