GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow & Exclusive fullscreen problems

[Paul Munly]

Hi,

I'm attempting to get a Swing application to go into Exclusive Fullscreen
mode and am curious if there's something that I need to do prior to
attempting to grab the fullscreen window. The code in question follows:

<code>
this.setUndecorated(true);
GraphicsDevice gd = this.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice();
if(gd.isFullScreenSupported()) {
System.out.println("### Exclusive FullScreen is supported");
gd.setFullScreenWindow(this);
} else {
System.out.println("### Exclusive FullScreen not supported");
this.setUndecorated(false);
}
</code>

I've tried this on an X-Windows based system and a Windows XP based system
and neither will let the program have exclusive fullscreen. Any help would
be much appreciated.
