Description

This test:

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/bbbc9c83cdf7/widget/tests/test_bug517396.xul

fails on Linux with the following error message:

7990 ERROR TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/widget/tests/test_bug517396.xul | moving a maximized window should have changed its width - Didn't expect 994, but got it.
7991 ERROR TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/widget/tests/test_bug517396.xul | moving a maximized window should have changed its height - Didn't expect 986, but got it.

I'm going to disable it on Linux.

Are sizemode changes asynchronous on Linux? window.outerWidth apparently doesn't change synchronously after maximize().

Yes, the app asks the window manager to make the change, and response and notification of response is asynchronous.
The window manager can refuse, but usually they oblige, particularly if the app has focus.

I'm not sure why an app would want to move a maximized window, but, when using kwin to move maximized windows, they keep their size.
