#137 Running in full screen mode

[Anonymous]

In previous versions of the Dashboard using the Maximize button in the top right made the interface truely full screen which was useful when leaving ones PC so that when one returned one was forced to restart/stop/adjust Dashboard accordingly. In 1.8, this facility has been lost. The maximise button sets the gui full screen and then resizes to full width but standard height. Can this property be adjusted?

ProcessDashboard.java's ResizeWatcher(), which doesn't appear to exist
in 1.6.5, seems to be the function that's overriding the user's request
to maximise the window. Perhaps something like this untested change
would help.
