Bug Description

Binary package hint: anjal

I am using UNR on an Acer Aspire One netbook with a 1024×600 screen.

When Anjal opens, it is full-screened. Common keyboard shortcuts (F11) do not unmaximize it. In addition, the UI elements resize once the message list loads, so that the "Close" button in the top right corner is beyond the right edge of the screen. In order to close Anjal, I must Alt+Tab to another open window, then right-click on the icon in the window-picket-applet and choose "Close".

Expected:
* All elements of the Anjal UI remain within the available screen real estate.
* Anjal does not obscure the taskbar unless explicitly full-screened with F11 or other keyboard shortcut.

$ lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy anjal

I notice at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591613#c8 that there is an (undocumented) command-line option -w. When started with this option, both problems are resolved (however, maximus undecorates but does not correctly maximize the window). Perhaps this should somehow be the default in UNR, a "non-moblin environment".
