Camilla Berglund f3b65445dc Fixed cursor outside new full screen windows.
The cursor was not positioned over newly created full screen windows,
leading to confusing behavior like invisible cursor or window
iconification.

This fix is a stop-gap until the direct cursor position work is merged.

Fixes #111.

GLFW

Introduction

GLFW is a free, Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL and OpenGL ES application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for creating windows and contexts, reading input, handling events, etc.

Version 3.1 is not yet described.

If you are new to GLFW, you may find the introductory tutorial for GLFW 3 useful. If you have used GLFW 2 in the past, there is a transition guide for moving to the GLFW 3 API.

Note that a number of source files have been added or renamed in 3.1, which may require you to update any custom build files you have.

Compiling GLFW

See the Compiling GLFW guide in the GLFW documentation.

Using GLFW

See the Building programs that use GLFW guide in the GLFW documentation.

Dependencies

GLFW bundles a number of dependencies in the deps/ directory.
