No, the (experimental) setting:

Use fixed window size
If disabled, the video playback window can be resized

is meant to allow a more desktop-like experience, rather than the 
default appliance-like experience.  Note, however, that it has been 
broken at times.

You may also need to set:

Use window border
Toggles between windowed and borderless operation.

to be able to resize the window, depending on your choice of window 
manager (among other things). Both settings are in Appearance 
settings--and check out others in that area, as you may or may not be 
interested in changing them to achieve your desired desktop-like experience.
