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

Hi,

Just a small reaction on what you said there, even though a little off-topic to the bug report.

Don't rely on no alt-tab within real fullscreen, that's a bug that I want to fix at some point.

I don't think that it should be possible to "alt-tab" on a real fullscreen. For me, this was a feature. Especially when you play a game, you don't want to switch the window focus by mistake to another app, or iconing the app, or whatever. Or am I missing something?

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.).
