Hi, We need to discuss making windowed default on linux (rather then
fullscreen)
- obvious reasons, make it easy for the new user and advanced users can
make it fullscreen if they like.
The patch makes blender work like Windows (mac too?)
blender -W # will run fullscreen, otherwise windowed

Below is some discussion from the bf-funboard ML
