Integrated into the main program itself, it returns Bad Request and does not work.   I have tried various event masks with this as I am unsure what would be correct.

Use:
  long mask = 0;
  ...
  event.xclient.data.l[3] = 1;
  ...
  if(!XSendEvent(disp, XDefaultRootWindow(disp), False, mask, &event))
    fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't get fullscreen\n");
