The window handling stuff could be cleaned up considerably. Currently,
more resizes than necessary happen (although I think it works okay now).
The problem is that a lot of things depend on each other here - the
ioScreenSize call, going fullscreen, going back from fullscreen, browser
plugin mode etc.
