198284 - start-up of mozilla never in maximized window under gnome-2.2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Stephan Haller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

If I start mozilla application (all instances close/killed from process list)
the main browser window does never appear maximized on screen even if
application was closed cleaned in maximized state. I have installed mozilla in
/opt  to have full access to and symlinked /opt/mozilla/mozilla to
/usr/bin/mozilla to call it from everyplace.

I actually tried to workaround by using the parameters -width xxx and -height
xxx but then I cannot start another window by pressing a shortcut on the panels
(profile manager appears). Even a previous workaround on Mac OS X (using
parameter -splash) does not work!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call 'mozilla' (takes symlink from /usr/bin pointing to /opt/mozilla/mozilla)
from terminal window or from 'Run..' dialog of Gnome 2.2 or use short-cut of a
panel.
2. Mozilla starts without any problems for further browsing and so but window is
in normal (not maximized) state.

Actual Results:  
First window (browser window) appearing is in normal state.

Expected Results:  
It should be maximized!

See details! Sorry, but I said all above :(
