You don't say what window system you are running, but for X at least, the 
window manager does not allow resizing of a fullscreen window.  This is kind of 
the point of having fullscreen windows, i.e. fixed size covering the screen.  
For NS, it behaves the same.  I guess W32 does the same thing, but I don't know 
for sure.
