I made a modification to use SDL_SetVideoMode to set the fullscreen up
rather than SDL_WM_ToggleFullScren and for some reason it avoids
the vidmode change that was troubling, but as you say, a mouse motion or
any sort of 'harmless' event is needed to actually cause the image to
scale to the size of the screen, and I'm not sure why.

Works pretty well, I admit. Might be nice to have convenient access to
trivial things such as the Window Title/Icon (or the SDL screen itself,
then all these things could be done and more).
Of course, with AddVideoRender style stuff going on, extending an exisisting
renderer would work well to provide customization. My main concerns were
stuff like title and icon. Also, custom event handling to use similar
commands to what my mpeg playbak window does seems easiest to do with a
customized renderer.
