Never mind.  We can't use that: it's a brutal window management hack
that grabs the window at creation and diddles its properties before
the WM sees it (or maybe it's a hook into the WM implementation, same
thing).

Note, by the way, that this is *not* actually capable of running SDL
in fullscreen mode (i.e. at a custom resolution).  This runs the fgfs
binary as a *windowed* application, and then hacks around with the
window properties such that the WM displays it fullscreen.

The only way to get SDL to change the video mode is to use
SDL_FULLSCREEN, and if you do that the only way you'll get back is via
SDL_Quit().
