Description Kees Blom 2012-06-05 05:02:18 UTC 
SDL_SetWindowSize() has no effect, but when followed by SDL_SetWindowPosition() it has some effect,
only the the window height then is set to the desired value, but the width is not.
The latter problem can be fixed as follows:

Updated this to Linux, since it seems like this is a Linux bug (due to the patch suggested).

This should be fixed in latest HG version of SDL2.
