Summary: Cannot exit fullscreen mode

Initial Comment:
I am running Bibletime svnr1767 on WindowsXP

After entering fullscreen mode I am unable to leave it.  Instead of F5 toggling between fullscreen and not fullscreen, it seems to only go to fullscreen.

Not even closing and reopening Bibletime help to get back into non-fullscreen mode.

Message:
Because of differences in handling the window frame setting the window
geometry is not platform independent. It is not simple like using the
resize() function which we were doing. QT 4.2 introduced new functions to
correctly handle this. The are the saveGeometry() and restoreGeometry()
functions. I switch to using these functions. The information from these
functions is save in our startup session and any user saved sessions.

Message:
This is probably a bug in Qt. I remember stucking in a similar situation.
After you have get to a state where it SHOULD be non-fullscreen, can you
open the Windows window menu, Resize, grab a corner of the window and
resize? IIRC the window was actually in non-fullscreen state even though it
didn't work correctly.

Developer note: we have to verify this under all Windows platforms and
disable the fullscreen feature if necessary until this works.
