I agree that a software scaling mode is useful, for the reasons you
stated. But nonetheless I think a resolution-switching fullscreen mode
is useful as well :) eg. because software scaling doesn't look as nice
as native resolution (at least on CRTs, it's unnecessaryly pixelated or
blurred). And if we would have a completely different GUI implementation
for Windows anyway, the GTK GUI could indeed use direct X11 calls (or
the like) to switch resolutions.
So, I pledge to include both methods (software scaling and switch to
native resolution) in the GUI and decide which mode to use based on user
preference or some clever algorithm :D

Oliver
