v1.3.1 - Changing screen refresh rate on fullscreen

[ajtribick]

I already mentioned this issue about 1.3.0, my desktop is set to 1024x768 at 32 bit colour and 85Hz. When I go to full screen in Celestia at ANY RESOLUTION, the refresh rate is dropped to 50Hz, at which I can see the refresh and it is very very annoying.

I've seen this in some games too. Try googling for "windows xp" "opengl" "refresh rate", you will find a couple of articles claiming this is a bug in Windows. E.g.

Maybe Microsoft doesn't like OpenGL?
