I hate to derail the rest of the discussion but if this is the
problem you are trying to solve, this is a tedious way to do it.

It would be much better to bind a key to toggle between windowed
and fullscreen on the fly during playback. We used to have this
(like back in version 0.9 maybe) before there was some GUI window
handling redesign. Nobody, self included, bothered to implement
this after the change and no one complained. However, it was a
nice feature and it would be good to have it again. Much easier
to press a key during playback than to exit the frontend and
restart it with a different environment just to change a couple
internal variables.
