Whoops, looks like Mozilla stuck the group name there by default. :)

Why would that break backward compatiblity? Apps can continue calling
SDL_SetVideoMode() and possibly losing their OpenGL state. It would
just provide a shortcut for apps that want resizable SDL_OPENGL windows
and don't want to worry about possibly losing their state.
I concede that I don't know whether it's possible to implement on all
platforms, though, so your solution does seem more robust.
