Ok, I was wrong about the floating thing; apparently the problematic windows *are* floating, but they're coming up maximized as if they were being tiled across the full screen. As soon as I switch them to floating they behave properly. So the real question is why some programs come up floating by default, when I have no rules to that effect and the layout mode is a tiling mode? And if they're floating, why do they come up with no decorations? -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
