Personally I can't see any reason why anyone would play a game in a DGA
window rather than in full screen; unless, of course, they didn't set up
their XF86Config for the resolution that is being requested. But I don't
think this is Allegro's problem.

I'm almost certain SDL always switches to full screen.
