That's it: the spec says if both your screen dimensions are less than or equal to 1280 x 1024, only the fullscreen dash should be displayed.

You can work-around it through two environment variables: Start unity-2d-places like this:

DASH_MIN_SCREEN_WIDTH=640 DASH_MIN_SCREEN_HEIGHT=480 unity-2d-places

(Actually only setting the HEIGHT should be enough)
