*Important notice: This script was replaced with a more advanced solution:
"Gamespot screenshot view-as-image":http://www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/4966
. Please check it out first. I leave this current script for those who prefer a simpler solution.*

This fixes Gamespot's screenshot window, which is sometimes too small for the screenshot.

Effectively, the script does 2 things:
# The screenshot window will be everytime as large as is possible on your screen.
# Inside the screenshot window, the annoying vertical *scroll-bar* disappears.

The source of the first problem, at least, is this: *Firefox (by default?) doesn't let Javascript change the size of an already-open window.* Gamespot *tries* to resize the screenshot window dynamically according to the screenshots' size -- but Firefox won't let it. My script solves this problem by opening a window as large as possible *in the first place*.

(Another solution, which I'm unsure of, will simply be to allow Javascript to change window size: Choose Tools -> Options -> Content -> Javascript, Advanced... -> Check "allow resize". Not sure if this solves the 2nd problem.)
