Expected is back to fullscreen, not windowed mode

Please provide any additional information below.

Comment from my team member in our project "RetroRig" on github 
(https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig):

"This is actually not an issue of xbmc. I've checked the function stack off 
CDisplaySettings::SetCurrentResolution during a game launch. It appears to be 
an event send to xbmc from the outside. Probably from RCB.

However, I've now disabled a function called ToggleFullScreenRoot in xbmc. It 
is only used upon an external event requesting xbmc to change from fullscreen 
to windowed mode. Changing the display mode in the settings is not affected. 
You might want to give this a try! I have uploaded xbmc.bin to here: 
https://github.com/beaumanvienna/xbmc/tree/gotham-retrorig-pl5/testing

Actually, I really like this change. It's not only much faster to launch a game 
now, the Unity desktop also doesn't show up any more during the switch from 
xbmc to an emulator. :-D"

Is there a reason for the function calling the windowed mode? I don't want to 
commit changes to my project if there is a technical reason for this call.

Thank you!

Sorry for the late response. There could be focus issues without forcing xbmc 
into windowed mode. Often this call interferes with the screensaver. If the 
screensaver is active the call to go back to fullscreen just deactivates the 
screensaver and the fullscreen command is lost. It is on my list to handle this 
issue.
