        mode used by the display. On Windows, the behavior is normal. However,
        there are differences on other platforms. On Unix variations using X11
        extensions it should behave as defined, but some irregularities may
        occur.

        On wxMac passing in wxDefaultVideoMode as the mode parameter does
        nothing. This happens because carbon no longer has access to
        @c DMUseScreenPrefs(), an undocumented function that changed the video
        mode to the system default by using the system's "scrn" resource.
