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

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

Hi,
the options for a cascade (-w/--cascade) and tiling (-T/--tile) arrangement
are implemented in https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4184 patch. Also,
menu entries (in Window submenu) are added. You can test the patch, if you
like, it would help.
