Yes, it's a no-op in Linux. The method comment says

	"Force Squeak's window (if there's one) into a new size and depth."

The behaviour in fullscreen is undefined. The Mac version seems to achieve
a good compromise when the VM can not (does not want to?) change the
screen resolution. I propose other implementations should follow it. [The
white border seems odd, though - I would have expected a black one]
