Originally, the freeze/thaw was precisely to avoid extra transient
state handlers.

I don't know what a "less fragile" code for all this would look like
(tests would be something ;), but I would tend to lean on code that
wouldn't depend on the order of events, but just on current state
(ideally).

Since it's supposed to be a simple optimization, and it should work
regardless it is there or not, ack.

Have you thought about setting the fullscreen/auto_resize state
somehow at creation time, or using direct setter (not gobject
properties)
