Comment 4 for bug 797808

Even though my resolution is over 1024 x 600 and the issue would be fixed for me, I disagree this is good solution. The reason is that when a user decides to unmaximize a window, he probably has a good reason for it and wants the window to appear the same way next time he starts the application.

If you prefer to have some windows maximized on smaller screens, the windows should only *default* to maximized state when the application is launched for the very first time. If the user likes it, he keeps it that way. If he doesn't and unmaximizes the window, his decision should be respected next time the application is started.

The current state also "feels" buggy and can lead to bad initial experience - see my comment here:
