[Rpcemu] Full screen display

I'm running RPCEmu under Linux Mint 20.1 on a decade-old
Samsung 17" laptop with a 1600 x 900 screen driven by an
Nvidia graphics card. It has an i3 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a
480 GB SSD. It runs very well indeed thank you very much,
except...

I can't get it to run properly in full-screen mode.

Without selecting full-screen, I have a working 1600 x 900
mode in 16 million colours and with a 60 Hz refresh. Using
<alt>click-drag, I can move the window to cover the whole
screen. The panel at the bottom of the screen is set to
auto-hide.

After a fresh boot, with the RPCEmu window in its default
position, selecting full-screen mode from the drop-down
menu results in the window losing its title bar and
becoming immovable. This happened with the default video
driver even before I invoked the Nvidia 340 driver.

Setting a mode with a lesser height than that of the
display *does* allow full-screen mode to be used.

You might ask why I need to enter full-screen mode if I can
make it look as if that's how it is just by moving the
default window to cover the screen. Well, I don't know if
this is known/expected behaviour or if there is a bug
(feature?) with RPCEmu.

I can certainly live with this situation and only raise it
in case there is a remedy of which I'm unaware or, indeed,
if a remedy is at all possible.
