Even if i set desktop size == iris fs size, i still only get this 
sometimes when i keep f pressed for several seconds (but it's probably 
better for my monitors health not having to switch resolutions 10 times 
a second). You using something like dnetc , whats your proc usage when 
it happens (it only seems to happen when the usage is high here). Now I 
just made some changes and i can't reproduce it anymore, but that might 
just be luck or something. I can hardly ever reproduce it.

I mean the window setup is the same as when it starts up with fullscreen 
 config option toggled, it's hard to imagine that is the problem (since 
that worked perfectly for you it seems ?). The only things i can think 
off are that the GLWin window stuff doesn't get properly cleaned (in 
time?) or the X server just wasnt meant for this sort of mad updating 
(in my case, it takes minutes of continuously pressing 'f' to get this 
situation). Maybe it has todo with some sort of async situation with the 
draw thread, but since this all happens in the thread i don't think so. 
I'm afraid since i can't reproduce it i can't be of much help.

I noticed btw that you reverted the knot change, now it segfaults again. 
It only does so when disabling and then re-enabling the plugin. I'm 
surprised it doesn't do so for you, but i suggest you leave it in as 
long as it helps me :)

Oh and hm, the disabling of the window size stuff.. i like to have a 
small window when i start up :) I know it's not very clean and i suppose 
it should be done by using some window resize event, but could we leave 
it around as long as there isn't anything better?
