        the defined behaviour is that wxDisplay will reset the video
        mode to the default 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 DMUseScreenPrefs, an undocumented
        function that changed the video mode to the system
        default by using the system's 'scrn' resource.
