Always check the return value of set_gfx_mode().
This is a known problem (at least, I knew about it): Allegro cannot (in 
Windows) create a window that is larger than the desktop (the window frame 
and title bar add to the size of the window).
The only workaround I have been able to find is to reduce the size of the 
window. You can uset the get_desktop_resolution function to query the size 
of the desktop.

Now, if someone knows of a way to change this behavior, I'm all for it.
