The Flatpak has its own environment, so would not be looking in /etc.
(On my machine, I see, for example:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint/x86_64/stable/[very-long-string]/files/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf)

However, you _can_ override config file options via the command-line,
e.g.:

  flatpak run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --fullscreen=no

No. The only objects that can be moved after the fact are Labels.

Stamps get applied to the canvas just like any other 'object' (brush
strokes, lines, shapes, regular Text, Magic tools that 'paint' things,
like bricks, grass, traintracks, etc.), and hence can then be
painted or stamped over, manipulated by Magic tools (blur, blocks,
emboss, tint, waves, etc!)

Sorry, not at this time.  It is unlikely that it ever will.
(The feature that became "Labels" was requested by numerous teachers
who wanted kids to be able to edit any misspellings, so we gave in and
added it. :) )


Take care,
