Make Sublime Text run in X11 without a window manager (kiosk mode)
I have a Chromebook Pixel that I'd like to use for development. I'm interested in trying Sublime, but don't want to futz with a separate window manager. Instead, I'd like to have Sublime open in its own fullscreen X-window session. I can do everything else in ChromeOS.
I tried:
exec subl
in ~/.xinitrc, which almost worked, except the window was the wrong size. It looked like it was only taking up the first 640x480 of my display. (Sorry I can't provide more accurate measurements.)
Is there a command line option to tell Sublime how big to draw itself? I know this sounds like an obscure use case, but non of the Linux window managers look very good at high resolution, and the only thing I even need a separate Linux environment for is running Sublime.

I've been playing with pixel_webdev, which has ameliorated my need to run without a window manager. It also has some nice touches (like making the brightness, fullscreen, and switch window buttons work) that would require more effort to support without a window manager.
