Ah - so as I thought it is now a single default setting or a system wide setting that needs to be changed - it's multiple windows- apps. It goes right back to design and branding!
A Better reason for a Standard System Wide Accessibility Policy I have never seen confirmed so quickly. That policy need to inform all action from design and branding through to coding - so that if there are multiple critical windows - they can be identified, logged, checked and made to comply with accessibility standards. That of course would be the function of the Accessibility Guardian - watch - catch and if necessary bite hard! "Ubiquity the installer also probably demands to set it's own dimensions, which is particularly annoying on the map page, but that is two separate issues, one in gnome-control-centre and one in ubiquity." It's not two separate issues - It is two bugs - with one common cause! If accessibility was being taken seriously there would be no cause for the bugs!

Start live cd - click desktop to change background to suitable colour. Facility to maximise window using Alt F8 has is greyed out - needs to re restored to meet accessibility standards - and should be working in the beta. This accessibility feature is present in 10.04.4 through to 11.10 (verified today) - and should still be present in 12.04. It should not have been removed or deprecated under Gnome shell/3 or Unity - or for testing purposes. Issue visible in screen print - attached. Issue affects multiple windows from Boot of live CD and through Install process and in installed system. Numerous people with visual and neurodiveristy disabilities need the ability to maximise these windows to allow concentration on single task with minimal image/background noise. Window sizes may be presented inline with branding guidelines - but they should retain accessibility feature for those who need it and require it. It is acceptable for maximise option to be greyed out provided alternate Alt F8 is available. Presently basic accessibility standards compromised.
