Actually, Hatari SDL2 code seems to create another window when
switching between fullscreen and windowed mode.  This happens
when requested width & height are different, and with SDL2,
Hatari seems to use full display size when fullscreen is
requested.

When it's a new window, window manager cannot associate it
with position of some other, older window.

In SDL1 case, Hatari just sets new mode.  What happens
depends on SDL.
