[Kdenlive-devel] Start maximized by default

[John T. Mertz]

Sorry, it will start 'maximized', not 'full'

I think the opposite, that it is quite annoying that a video editing
app, which requires as much screen estate as possible, does not start
maximized (on first start). Or at least large enough to be usable at
startup.  There are a lot of apps that start maximized if it fits the
application. Kdenlive is not a simple audio or video player
application that only requires a small amount of space, or any other
similar app that requires a very limited amount of screen space to be
usable.

IMO there should at least be a set start size for the application that
gives the different widgets ample room to be viewed (unless the screen
size is smaller than the optimal defaults) it doesn't appear that this
is the case, since afaik kdenlive just calls show() to display the
main window but doesn't set the size.
