[AD] [alleg:bugs] #371 ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN leaves a small part undrawn

Well, uncommenting out line 396 on xdisplay.c seems to fix this, but I don't really know why that was commented out in the first place and it's been commented out in the code for a long while. I'm not sure but I think it's due to the NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN hint not being set since that will get set during ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW but not during ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN due to that line commented out.

If I al_set_new_display_flags(ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN) then create a display, it has fullscreen features (on Linux, alt-tab does not switch to background windows for instance) but displays "nearly" fullscreen.

See attached screenshot, using released allegro 5.1.2, on a Mageia 2, Linux 64 bits.
Note that if I use ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW instead, it works well (all screen is black-ed), but I miss the other features of real fullscreen (no alt-tab, etc.).
