Comment 5 for bug 348494

The decision not to maximise totem is so because totem normally opens at the correct size for the video it's displaying. When maximus used to force it to maximise, smaller videos would end up being scaled up with the window size, and they would look horrible (like the ones that were/are shipped in Examples).

I think there was a bug against totem for this, but it was closed won't fix because that is the way totem was made to work (don't quote me on this, I'll try and find the bug report and add it here).

I'm not sure about a corresponding bug report for cheese, but I've just been playing with Cheese on a netbook with the exception removed from gconf, and it seems to scale fine when maximised.

So, maybe we should remove cheese from the netbook-remix-defaults and just keep totem?
