Maze at 1920x1080, magic fullscreen let some areas with a solid 
color without maze, don't know if this is by design, increasing the
limit to 100000 works fine in my box and I get no more solid color
areas.

      while (state != STATE_DONE && iter < 100000);

Not sure what could happen in low end devices, but here,
even slowing Tux Paint with valgrind takes less than 2 seconds
to do the magic fullscreen effect.

I could not test in bigger displays, now Tux Paint refuses to 
increase the window size over the display size even if asked 
to do so.

Other than that, the new magic tools look nice :)
