Hi, just got a raspberry pi with Minecraft-pi edition installed on it. I am
also trying to show my son how to program.
We are REALLY stuck since Minecraft-pi starts and goes directly to fullscreen
mode without giving us a chance to move the window side-by-side with the python
editor/shell. We tried using two monitors, we tried Avery combination of keys.
We tried killing 
processes at the console...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the mouse keeps constantly jumping which causes the view to reorient. This
makes the game unusable. 
I have tried different power adaptors (thinking it might be usb power
dropping), I have tried different keyboards, mice, and monitors. I have tried
with minecraft maximized and in windowed modes. I have tried different
configurations of memory sharing 
and overclocking vs no overclocking. No luck. The mouse seems to operate fine
in x windows.

installed Noobs/Raspbian. Now the mouse is working properly.
