Did you mean XResizeWindow? Following a fullscreen request with a
resize request is odd.

I think there are two reasonable solutions when a window that is
in fullscreen mode is resized (either by the application or by the
user):

 1) Force the window back to normal mode.

or

 2) Ignore the resize request.

I tend to favour solution (1) here.
