Bugzilla Bug 71301

Sometimes with some application (like firefox), when I resize the window to
"maximize" and I restart the application, the window isn't maximized. Sometimes
it is only partial maximized, but he think to be maximized. Then if I do
unmaximize, it begin a little window (very very little), on the left of the
screen.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start an application (try with differents)
2.Maximize a window
3.Restart the application

Actual Results:  
I don't see a good maximize on restart, and unmaximize make the window too
small.

Expected Results:  
A normal maximize and position rimember system.

I'm hitting the same bug with windowmaker 0.91.0-r1 running on xorg-x11
6.8.0-r3. Can anybody tell if this is Gentoo-specific problem or a windowmaker
issue?

Same here - wmaker-0.91

seems I maintain windowmaker now ;-) reassigning

I do not get the effect of having the window "partially maximized" when
restarted, but I do get the effect where, after restart, un-maximizing the
window makes it incredibly small.

Looking into it, and checking/reporting to upstream.

It seems Firefox is the only application I have that does this.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050123 Firefox/1.0

Bug is upstream fixed in CVS

Besides, it is always reproducible.
(mozilla, pan)
- Maximize application
- Close application
- re-open application
- unmaximize
- Almost gone (mozilla) or smaller than usual (pan)

Created an attachment (id=61112) [edit]
preventing windows from going atomic after "unmaximise"

This patch prevents windows "disappearing" after unmaximise is clicked.
part of the problem is still there...
- In unmaximised state:
    resize window

(In reply to comment #7)

- In unmaximised state:
    resize window
- Maximize
- Close
- re-open

You'll find that the window is as large as defined in unmaximised state, yet it
is maximized...
You can safely "unmaximize" the window (nothing will happen) and re-maximize.

In short:
panic-problem resolved. Annoying problem still stands...

Fixed in windowmaker-0.91.0-r7; thanks for the patch.
