I think that I know why.  Running the adonthell RPM from the download site and 
Wastesedge from Cooker, it ran O.K. only as root.  I had a separate 
.adonthellrc in /root, set to full screen.  I may have been - in fact 
probably was - still in as root from compiling when I ran that test, so it 
would have picked up root's settings.  Run from the menu, it ran windowed.  
My resolution is set to 1024 x 768.  I may still have had an 
"adonthell-wastesedge" script lying around from before, but the one I edited 
was put there by the RPM.
