hi......
i get really annoyed when the size of windows goes beyond the size of the monitor,that is some part of the windows gets hidden.......i use gnome currently......
1.is there anyway to set the max size of the window when unmaximised say(some (X x Y)
2.is there anyway to make the apps reopen in the state(the size ) when it was last closed?
thnx

Look at your XF86Config file (probably /etc/XF86Config). If you have multiple resolutions, specified, then what you'll get is a virtual display with the largest of these... so just erase the resolutions you don't want (or when you re-start X, start it with a different XF86Config file, one per resolution.
