[K12OSN] Not full screen, just a window

[William Fragakis]

There is another way

go to /usr/share/applications/

find your tuxtype icon
right click
click "Launcher"
like Petre said, change the command to: tuxtype2 -w

if you have to text edit the file

/usr/share/applications/fedora-tuxtype2.desktop


change the Exec line to: Exec=tuxtype2

this trick works for tuxpaint and GCompris,too,
but for Childsplay, you'll need to use: childsplay --window

regards,
William
