Ofcourse that works... That was not what I meant.
You said:
"You _can't_ even think about running the program in targets that
only support full-screen modes."

My comment above tells you that there's no problem whatsoever to use
your application on full-screen targets.

Yes, simple and/or common things work, but many things do not work
properly even though they appear to work. But the top issue before
we can even talk about a release is to ensure that the fbdev target
works as good as possible. I intend to do a major overhaul of that,
but it won't happen in the next 4 weeks because I'll go on vacation
soon.
