Another data point:

nvidia-driver-180.51
xorg-server 1.6.3

* ex_fs_resize set the screen mode correctly both times, but the panel
  (taskbar) at the top of the screen remains visible, with the Allegro
  window just underneath.  The mouse cursor is trapped in the Allego
  window.  If I alt-tab away I can't regain focus in the Allegro window.
  The window manager is IceWM.

* ex_fs_window works perfectly, including tabbing in and out.
