Ah! I switched to letting the socket fill out the screen/window by
itself, and that solved it. Thanks!

Yes, makes simpler code at least.

No, I knew this was a very ugly work-around, and now I don't need it
anymore. HOWEVER, whoever remembers the unfullscreen size forgets to
remember the maximized flag, so jumping into and out of fullscreen has
the unwanted effect of restoring the window to its last non-maximized
state. I guess this must be a bug in Gtk-perl, Gtk or the window manager
(sawfish)?
