Actually I would extend this patch a bit and add OpenGL-based stretching
of the guest window in fullscreen mode. Currently the SDL_FULLSCREEN is
used when switching to fullscreen which induces a switch of the host X
server to a resolution near the guest resolution. With OpenGL, the host
screen resolution shouldn't be changed at all.

Kind regards,

Frank
