I'm not much into X11 programming but I guess xine-ui (the lib cannot be 
at error here, because the ui provides the display dimensions) does not 
intercept the ctrl-alt-[+-] resolution changes. Maybe someone who knows 
more than I on this can fix that, but as a temporary solution for you, 
you could enable usage of the XVidMode-Extension (config entry 
gui.use_xvidext). xine-ui will then select the best matching modeline 
for you when switching to fullscreen.
