There is one circumstance where windowed mode is a must but fortunately that
only applies on the Mac here, where it is not a problem. I use Mac's Spaces
which give a number of virtual desktops. Fullscreen in not only full screen
it is the only screen, the other virtual desktops are unreachable with VRPC
in fullscreen mode. In windowed mode one can move around at will, and there
is no cursor issue as there would be on Windows, the cursor changes between
Mac and RISC OS as it enters and leaves VRPC.
