Bug#605401: d-i window does not account for GNOME pannels and window decoration

[Ben Armstrong <synrg@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I looked into this and determined that the attached patch solves the
issue when a WM is in use. If, for some reason, the fullscreen fails
(e.g. no WM is in use) then the window size will still be set to the
screen size.

I did a test live-build of a squeeze image using gnome-desktop package
list, live-installer (daily), debian-installer-launcher and this patch. When
launched from the desktop, the installer starts fullscreened so all
elements of the UI are now visible.
