187358 - Can't resize Mail/News opened by -remote

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 117114

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jan D.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

If a mozilla is running without any Mail/News window, and from the command line,
I do:
  mozilla -remote 'xfeDoCommand (openInbox)'
the Mail/News window opens but can't be resized or maximized because those
window manager buttons/handles are missing.  This is because mozilla sets
MOTIF_WM_HINTS for decoration differently depending on how Mail/News is opened:

Not running mozilla previously, and doing mozilla -mail:
 MOTIF_WM_HINTS: ALL
Running mozilla and doing mozilla -remote 'xfeDoCommand (openInbox)':
 MOTIF_WM_HINTS: BORDER TITLE MENU MINIMIZE
Running mozilla and opening Mail/News with menu or icon:
 MOTIF_WM_HINTS: BORDER TITLE MENU MINIMIZE MAXIMIZE RESIZEH
  (which is the same as ALL).

Thus, the missing MAXIMIZE and RESIZEH is the bug.  Or rather, why not set the
AKK flag all the time?  The browser window does that regardless of how it is opened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run mwm or dtwm (CDE on Solaris for example)
2. Start mozilla.
3. Run: mozilla -remote 'xfeDoCommand (openInbox)'


Actual Results:  
No maximize button and no resize handlers appear on the Mail/News window.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should set MOTIF_WM_HINTS to ALL so resize and maximize can be performed
on the Mail/News window.

sounds like a bug in -remote...

dupe of '"-remote 'xfeDoCommand(openInbox)'" opens wrong type of window'
