win2k build 20030502..

a) open Mailnews
b) select "open in new Mail Window" in the folder context menu (right click a
folder) or click on a "Click here to remove all expired articles" link in an
expired Newsgroup Post
c) see the new opened mailnews window without minimize/maximize button but you
can still resize the window
Confirmed: Linux/x86 20030503.

The problem is actually much worse than it appears at first glance. In this
second mozilla messenger window (using the branding names :), keyboard shortcuts
for minimise/maximise don't work either.

Worse, the window cannot be raised or lowered. Keyboard shortcuts for this are
ignored, and window manager "raise-on-focus" doesn't happen. This makes the app
suite practically unusable for anyone running 2 mozilla messenger windows, if
they're big enough overlap.

This all on metacity 2.4.34.

The regression ocurred between 2003043011 & 2003050105 (checkout hour times in GMT).

Summary: No maximize/minimize buttons in new Mailnews window → No maximize/minimize buttons in new Mailnews window, and raise & lower broken
Note I'm using GTK2. I wonder if this is related to the fix for:

174471 [gtk2] need to port over the nsITheme interface code to gtk2

which seems to have landed at about the right time.
I *can't* confirm this. Todays cvs (20030503) build is working fine for me
with gtk2 toolkit. However i am running windowmaker windowmanager.  Calum's
problem is probably metacity windowmanager as stacking is a function of the
windowmanager.
Interesting.  I'll bet mail/news is opening the new window as a dialog.  I can
reproduce this here.  The stacking order is the big clue.
Blocks: gtk2
It's more likely that bug 157438 caused this.  Is this happening on windows, by
any chance?
this happens on win2k (see my initial comment) and biesi saw it in an non gtk2
Linux build.

So this is or isn't a problem in the mozilla.org default builds (not GTK2)?
I've not tried a mozilla.org default build, but it is a problem in non-GTK2
builds. We build here from cvs, and I'm seeing the problem with a non-GTK2 build
of 20030506. I will try a mozilla.org build.
Yup, the problem is present in mozilla.org builds too. I've just downloaded the
nightly sparc 2.7 build:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-sparc-sun-solaris2.7.tar.gz

which is 2003050601, and the problem is still present.
My bad. Fix coming up soon.

I broke this when fixing bug 137661. We need to explicitly say this isn't a
dialog when there are arguments.
