Some apps certainly avoid this; how do they do it? Presumably vidmode
has some "do not pan" mode? Can't you enable that?

You shouldn't need to worry about resizing or redecorating your
application window (once we sort all this out), but you still have to
worry about changing the X server to the vidmode you want including
any properties of that such as whether it should allow panning.

Fullscreen mode does not imply changing vidmode - how would the WM
know which vidmode to change to?
