Thanks for the help. I have to admit that I overlooked this part of the
documentation. However, there is one problem: If I call showFullScreen()
on my widget, then any call to resize() is ignored. So even though I
receive resized()  or workAreaResized() events, I can't change the
window size according to the new screen size.
