I'm not sure what you mean here.  If quartzEnableRootless is true,  
then you shouldn't be in fullscreen mode.  Rootless mode is the one  
where your X11 and OSX environments are in harmony with one another  
(in theory).

Ah... ok... yeah... this is one of the gotcha's with RANDR.  I'll send  
you some files offline that I have of some randr related work that you  
might want to look at.
