The View window should only reappear on start up only if the Continuous
Typesetting was set when Denemo was shutdown. You can check this by
looking at the file .denemo-2.2.0/denemorc which will contain an entry

<manualtypeset>1</manualtypeset>

if continuous typesetting was unset or 

<manualtypeset>0</manualtypeset>

if continuous typesetting was set.

Do both of the symptoms you describe occur when Continuous Typesetting
is off? That would, indeed be bizarre...

In any case, it is difficult to see from the source code why the focus
would switch the the Print View window, only a mouse-click should do
that, and even then there is code to immediately switch the focus back
to the Denemo Display (i.e. main window, where the keystrokes must
arrive). If you click on a note in the Print View it should start
playing from that note after switching the focus back to the Denemo
Display - does this happen ok?
