Hi Francis

Sorry for not responding earlier but I had no idea whether --fullscreen
was supposed to work on Windows at all.  I recently made a number of
changes in this area and hopefully fixed this particular problem too.
So if you have a chance to access current master/trunk, please try it.

Thank you very much for the report, martin
