Metacity isn't saving anything, that's all mozilla. It could save "last not-maximized size" if it wanted. I tested with sawfish and, you're right, it dosn't change anything. But what's stranger is that the problem can be re-produced with Abiword, Evolution, OpenOffice and Synaptic but not with Gedit. So it seems it's application-related. But I wonder why apps like Mozilla, Abiword or OpenOffice don't have this problem on Suse/KDE. What should I do ? Should I report bugs for each app ? Created attachment 90034 [details]
Fixes the unmaximization problem for buggy apps such as Mozilla, OOO etc...
If the window size is >= the screen's size, set the saved size to a pre-defined
size (width*0.75, height*0.85). So, if the app stupidly saved the maximized
window size, you still can unmaximize it to a decent size.
What about this patch ? Any chance to see it included in Metacity ? Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
