showing a window fullscreen indeed never worked for me in Suns java (never
tried 1.5) since it refused to show on top of my panel and the whole
X11 RandR should be supported to allow switching resolutions on the fly..

My mpeg player uses a fullscreen framebuffer to write faster.  Then again
it can show the thing in a window as well; so its not really full screen..
