I am staring to learn Blender, and I really like it! Finally, a cool, professional 3D app on my favorite OS. One thing that I don’t like about it is that it runs full-screen and obscures the Desbar. To take back control of your screen, try launching Blender with the -p flag, like this:

blender -p sx sy w h

where sx and sy are the upper left cordinates and w and h are the width and height. I use:

/boot/apps/blender/blender -p 2 2 1020 739

Get this dialed in, then put it in a shell script or make an alias to launch the program with.
