Is there a way to make UNR not to maximize all windows I open?

Question

Ubuntu Netbook Remix maximizes all windows I open, including dialog windows (e. g. find dialog). That's frustrating. Is there a way to change the default behaviour?

Answer 1

Yes, you have to disable maximus.

Go to system->preferences->sessions and disable it or open a terminal and execute:

sudo apt-get remove maximus

in order to uninstall it.

Answer 2

Ok, I found how you can do that. Here's the clue. Unfortunately there was a typo in the command, so I had to stumble a little, until I guessed why nothing had happened.

That's how to make maximus do the right thing:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/maximus/no_maximize --type BOOL true
