I don't know how Qt applications behave without a window manager. But if you 
are the only one application launched, you should have the keyboard focus. 
Then you just need to be maximized. I don't know if Desktop.Width and 
Desktop.Height are accurated without a window manager.

The better I think, would be running a window manager (a light one), and 
running the gambas application fullscreen.

Please try, and describe me your experience.
