AFAIK you have to reaload textures when switching from windowed into 
fullscreen mode. At least on win32 all textures turned white when doing so 
and on linux I had a xserver crash from time to time when not reloading 
textures. I wasn't able to find an official statement about this, but 
since the openglcontext is completely destroyed and reconstructed when 
switching I assume that you have to reload the textures. An alternative to 
complicated reload stuff would be to shut everything down and start the 
app again from the beginning.
