Absolutely. Also it seems like SDL 1.3 will never be released... I would look at dog for clever window and OpenGL context creation. The inability to create 3.x OpenGL context in SDL 1.2 will become a blocker very soon. However, SDL 1.2 lower the bar for someday porting to Mac/Linux and does its job. The fullscreen <=> windowed thing is probably related to the OpenGL context recreation, maybe it work with pure SDL graphics.
