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
