gwibber should not be maximized by maximus

[Paul Larson]

Binary package hint: maximus

gwibber should be added to the list of apps that are not maximized by maximus. Many of the dialog boxes look quite bad when stretched to full screen, and in a few cases, get in the way of other windows for setting up accounts. Example: try to setup a facebook account, there is one window that cannot be maximized, but it stays on top of another one that gets maximized and is needed in order to setup the account. So you have to keep moving the top one around to see what you need to underneath.

Hmm I think this is fixed

ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings (0.6.2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Drop gnome/session/required_components_list, it isn't required any more.
  * Change the default GTK theme to Dust.
  * Add Gwibber to the maximus exclude.
  * Add the indicator-applet and indicator-session-applet to the default
    panel setup. (LP: #417001)

Ah, so it is, thanks. I didn't see that. Have we standardized now on doing the excludes in gconf alone, or are some things still done in maximus also? I'll leave the maximus upstream bug open for now just in case.

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

Right, we should probably fix individual apps to use the proper properties or add new properties to their windows for maximus.
