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

Someone needs to check this patch on a few WMs. Most importantly Unity, and anything else that's popular. If it works there it's fine... however there is a lot of differences between the window managers and "fixing" this on Mageia may break something else (it was tested on a few when the change you're fixing was made.)

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

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.).
