app window size problem, kivy via kivy pie , RAspberry pi , on Desktop

[Captain_sensible]

 I have a python/kivy   which runs no problem  on my Slackware (xfce) .

 I want it to work on a Raspberry pi (new version)  using kivypie , the app runs & works but there  is an issue with App Window size,it fills the whole screen so that I can not move the window , see anything or get to anything else. I have tried every thing including :

 .$python . /main.py --size=600x400

 Window.fullscreen = False

 Window.size =(600, 400)

 plus Config.set('graphics','width', 600') ..etc

 I can set size in kivy file of root widget but its just a smaller app lost in main window.
 I couldn't find anyway of killing the app ,  tried getting a bash shell up to find process & kill couldn't even do that ?

I am also having the same issue along with another.

Running Kivy 1.9.0 on Raspberry Pi 2 w/ Wheezy with 7inch display.

Even with editing config.ini and python coding the window is always fullscreen and never a smaller window. Esc, ctrl+z, ctrl+break, ctrl+ d (basically nothing) does not seem to work when trying to exit the application. I've tried launching it from first terminal after bootup and terminal in the GUI.  

Also when displaying my widgets which load gifs in zips. One widget loads the gifzip but the display blinks (may be display limitations) but the gifzip does work. But it does not load the second widget with a gifzip which is right under it. Just a white bar where the widget should be. 

Again not sure if its the 7inch display issue or not but thought i'd add to this.

Same issue here. Running Kivy 1.9.1 on Raspbian Jessie on a Raspberry Pi 2 B with official 7" touchscreen. 

I altered the kivy install's config file to try to force it to a window, but even when I set fullscreen to 0 and width to 400 (half of the default 800), no change. The config file handled other changes to the modules and input section fine. 

Honestly, though, I think the bigger issue is that it doesn't close properly back to X. The only way I can get the app to close reliably is by adding a close button that kills the app, but it doesn't go back to X, it just stays as a dark screen. Then I have to disconnect power to the Pi without a proper shutdown and risk corrupting the SD card. Not an ideal way to debug.

 Ctrl+C only works very intermittently for me as well - when it does work, it actually will take me back to X, but I'm not sure how to get a normal app exit to do that.

I am having the exact same problem. 

Did any of you figure out a solution? It is driving me nuts.

 Nope! in the end  i took a distant & consolidated view of the Pi particularly from the perspective of now being in Ghana where who has HMDI here? Compared to a Pentium iV where say Slackware  14.2 is installed ;really the only thing the PI has going for it is the gpio pins . There doens't yet seem a requirement for that here so my x2 Pi's are sitting on a shelf .
