Sorry, it will start 'maximized', not 'full' I think the opposite, that it is quite annoying that a video editing app, which requires as much screen estate as possible, does not start maximized (on first start). Or at least large enough to be usable at startup. There are a lot of apps that start maximized if it fits the application. Kdenlive is not a simple audio or video player application that only requires a small amount of space, or any other similar app that requires a very limited amount of screen space to be usable.
IMO there should at least be a set start size for the application that gives the different widgets ample room to be viewed (unless the screen size is smaller than the optimal defaults) it doesn't appear that this is the case, since afaik kdenlive just calls show() to display the main window but doesn't set the size.
