I've noticed a difference between icewm and kwin though. in kwin, the window 
is fully resized when going full screen. however in icewm, you have to hit 
enter to get the allegro window to fully resize. More strangeness from X 
land.

The only solution to the above panel issue I've gotten so far is to use the 
override redirect flag on our window. So I guess we will have to use the 
FULLSCREEN flag.
