Bug Description

Blender shoud use -w as default to run it in window mode instead of fullscreen.

This could be accomplished by either patching /usr/bin/blender or
/usr/share/applications/blender.desktop

Do you think it would be good to provide both variants, one "Blender (Fullscreen)" and one "Blender (Window Mode)" in the menu?

Should be just one menu entry. If Blender wants to be used in fullscreen mode then it should present that option in a view menu after loading in windowed mode, not make it default and unchangeable without going to the command line.

Last decision by me and the Debian maintainer is providing both in the menu, as this allows the user to choose, and it is not difficult to implement for us.
