Here I have described how to use ScreenMode before window creation:

It's also available in one of the *ScreenMode* unit tests.

Ok but can I just call GLWindow.getScreen().addReference() before GLWindow.setVisible(true) to achieve that in my case? Is it the right way of using a Screen instance?

Edit.: It works fine, see change 10016 in JMonkeyEngine 3.0.
