Yes, I agree, but at least the initial size should be set. there is just not 
enough room for two full DV pictures on the desktop ;-)

Yes, but I ignore it. This is not so simple. kdenlive let's the user resize 
the window al the time. I don't like that. resizeing means allocating new 
memory mappings and overlay port. That's not a cheap operation. I'd rather 
like some dialog choose image size x2.0 x1.0 or x0.5   and then let the 
window stay that size, not resize it with the mouse.

The piave window is not resizeable (as replied to createWindow).

Yes, I like that better. spezify half/full/double size somewhere and then stay 
that way.

hmm.. ok.
