Here is a program that will give you a fullscreen window.
Or, at least it does on my Windows machine.

;******************************************************
PRO FullScreenWindow, WID=wid, TLB=tlb

tlb = Widget_Base(TLB_Frame_Attr=5)
Device, Get_Screen_Size=s
draw = Widget_Draw(tlb, XSize=s[0], YSize=s[1])
Widget_Control, tlb, /Realize
Widget_Control, draw, Get_Value=wid
WSet, wid

END
;********************************************************

The window index number is returned in the WID keyword.
Or, it can simply be found in !D.Window.

IDL> FullScreenWindow, WID=wid, TBL=tlb
IDL> Plot, findgen(11) ; Or whatever

To close the window, you can either do this:

IDL> Widget_Control, tlb, /Destroy

Or, this:

IDL> Widget_Control, /Reset

Despite what you have heard, winching and moaning here on
the IDL newsgroup is not best way to get things accomplished.
The best way is to send a polite note to support@rsinc.com. :-)

Cheers,
