If Eclipse was maximized before it was shutdown, it does not remember this and
rather restores itself as the size it would have been had it not been 
maximized.

Two possibilities: either Decorations.getMaximized() fails on linux, or the 
code in eclipse which records the state of windows does not remember this 
value. GG to ensure that getMaximized works, and then forward to UI team.

Note: another possibility is that we are *telling* the window to open 
maximized, but the window manager is ignoring us.

get/setMaximized() in Decorations are not really implemented.  Steve says that 
this is one of those infamous lingering issues looking for a solution.  I'll 
investigate later...

+1
I also hate the current behavior.
Added "usability" keyword

The Motif FAQ, as well as Steve's background, state that there is not support 
for this.  We can fake it by resizing the shell to the size of the root window, 
but it will never be truly maximized.

Closing as NOT_ECLIPSE.
