Full screen playback when GUI size is smaller

[ananthar at cs dot berkeley dot edu]

When GUI size is smaller, but "Use GUI size for playback" is unchecked in settings, watching LiveTV starts at full-screen like it should.

But entering and exitting the EPG once breaks this. Playback remains at GUI size till LiveTV is restarted.

This small change fixes the problem.

This patch will cause a segfault when DisplayRes::GetDisplayRes() returns NULL, and will fail in the presence of the Xinerama extensions.

Why not just query videooutbase for the current XJ_width & XJ_height?

I have tried to reproduce the problem (on the Mac OS X frontend) but it does not seem to manifest.

Closing. No feedback from patch submitter about SEGFAULT the patch would cause.
