mcedit: Is there a way to tell mcedit to start in window mode instead of full screen?

(I'm replying to the list this time, just ensuring that it's not missed)

Can I ask for clarification:
- when an option, -w for example, will be given,
- then mc should start with the file's window in windowed (not fullscreen
mode),
- for multiple files, possibly arranged the windows in e.g.: cascading way,
?

I think that this would involve first creating a CK_WindowCascade action
that would arrange the windows (first exiting fullscreen if needed).
