Comment 26 for bug 168422

Sorry, I need a clarification on what you mean about the maximized state in different resolutions:
  - if you mean saving the "maximized state" as a "normal state" with size and pos so it resembles a maximized state, I agree: it could cause problems (I was thinking the same thing yesterday and wanted to try changing my resolution); this is Inkscape's current behaviour;
 - if you mean saving the "maximized state" as "state of the window", the OS will set the size and position corresponding to the current screen resolution, different (and correct) for each case; Inkscape is not doing this now.

That's why I would prefer storing the maximized state as a state and not "simulated" as it's now.

Another thing: the problem you presented (same document, different screen resolutions) is indeed present also if the window is not maximized: what if I work on a 1280x1024 screen with a 1000x900 window and after open it on a 800x600 screen? It's the same.
But if the maximized state is saved separately, then a crop to positive coordinates (i.e. 0,0 so the upper-left border is visible) and sizes less than the screen becomes always correct.
