Kolourpaint automatic fullscreen

[nathand28]

I have installed Kolourpaint in Gnome, and recently whenever I start it or open a new file it automatically goes to fullscreen. I can change it in the settings sometimes, but sometimes it crashes my computer but I can just press ctrl alt backspace.
Is there a way to fix this or is there another graphics program that has the same functionality as Kolourpaint but is easier to use than GIMP ?

For a simple paint program you might wanna try tuxpaint.

It is a bit more child like,but it is easy to use.

Tux and gpaint both seem to be lacking a lot of features, whereas Kolourpaint has all the features I need but doesn't work properly.
Let me put it another way. Is there a way to change Kolourpaint's default preferences to change the way it defaults to fullscreen. Where is the Kolourpaint install directory so I can edit some preference files?

nathand28,

I also had your same problem with KolourPaint and Firefox.

I solved following this: http://www.tuxbay.org/component/content/190.html?task=view

Maybe you don't know italuan :)

But it just says to write in the terminal:

first
gconftool --type=bool --set /apps/compiz/plugins/workarounds/allscreens/options/legacy_fullscreen false

and then
gconftool --type=bool --set /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/unredirect_fullscreen_windows false

I hope it will be useful!!!

Well, It worked for me! I can now see the menu bars without having to click "settings> fullscreen" So thanks Folks! :D

I just noticed that it was happening in Firefox too.
