Yes, now I remember. I disabled this as otherwise the LEFTMEAT key wasn't working inside the VM.

This works, the color of the title bar changes slightly.

Now letting the VM "rest" after pressing maximize for a long time the machine switched to full screen mode.
So switching fullscreen works (as usual I was not patient enough with the computer ;-) ).

Would it be faster to set the size of the nit_fb from outside (kind of like it is done when the window is resized)?
