Description David Goodenough CLA 2002-04-16 12:21:08 EDT 
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.
Comment 1 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-04-16 13:21:12 EDT 
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.
Comment 2 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-04-16 13:25:12 EDT 
Note: another possibility is that we are *telling* the window to open 
maximized, but the window manager is ignoring us.
Comment 3 Grant Gayed CLA 2002-04-16 14:56:32 EDT 
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...

I also hate the current behavior.
Added "usability" keyword
Comment 5 Grant Gayed CLA 2002-05-08 15:28:50 EDT 
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.
Comment 6 Mike Wilson CLA 2008-04-12 15:52:05 EDT 
Closing as NOT_ECLIPSE.
