Well, I was going to write a bigger explanation, but since you obviously 
can reproduce it. I'll skip this part :)

Would it be possible to have a mode between normal and fullscreen? I'm 
in fullscreen also because I don't want the window frame. But I would 
still like to be able to see my taskbar (to see the notification icon in 
the systray for instance) or to see the content of both a X window and a 
Windows window. Would it be possible to have a window mode but without 
the decoration (i.e without the WS_CAPTION, WS_SYSMENU and 
WS_MINIMIZEBOX style)?
