Hi,

I've disabled fullscreen in my Mandrake package by adding -nofs to the
gmplayer menu entry. After that I was asked by a Mandrake user why
typing gmplayer into the xterm doesn't start in windowed mode.

I still think setting the fullscreen mode via the gui and stored in
gui.conf would be a good thing.
