    top: by default, show cmd line vs. cmd name at startup · fc5f5a93

    All of top's display was designed to fit into an 80x24
    terminal. This includes the help screens plus both the
    Summary and Task Areas, assuming no saved config file.
    
    With release 3.3.10, the startup defaults were changed
    assuming ./configure --disable-modern-top wasn't used.
    This was done in the hope of introducing some users to
    unknown capabilities such as colors, forest view, etc.
    
    The purpose of this commit is to coax a few more users
    into possibly exploring another capability: scrolling.
    We do so by tweaking the default startup display so as
    to show full command lines. Now, when things no longer
    fit in 80x24, horizontal scrolling might be exploited.
    
    [ of course, this can be reversed with the -c switch ]
