Hmmm... ok, there's a thought: remove the window frame (OS X 10.6+ only I think), find out what the depth of the menu bar/doc is, elevate the window above those and resize. Grab the display to prevent other applications from popping a window in front of ours (or not, as the case might be, but Allegro's normal fullscreen mode does this).
