Description of problem: Mutter unnecessarily resizes large windows (using a completely arbitrary formula), causing applications to look ugly and have white border around the area that is actually used by the app. Instance, ICAClient, although specifically set here to have 1520x840 size, resizes to full work area and becomes hideously ugly. Not to mention I have to waste time to resize it back to what it's supposed to be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutter-3.4.1-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set a window of an app to a certain size, bigger than the arbitrary limit set by mutter. 2. Watch it being maximised on open. Actual results: Window unnecessarily being maximised. Expected results: User settings should be obeyed. If nothing else, there should be a setting that would allow them to be obeyed. Additional info: Metacity does the right thing.
Oh, forgot. This is probably the cause: http://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=f2f500836ef217bfbd7bbf5ad54c9248cbdb7925

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
