Coda: I've altered the 'automaximize value' in compizconfig-settings-manager to 100% and Tor Browser now behaves itself in Unity. I've opened #9738 as I think this is sufficiently different from the more general concern reported in #7255 that it needs its own mention, but feel free to close it if you disagree. GNOME's windows have such colossal title bars that I can't actually tell whether or not it's opening at the right size; it just fills my screen anyway. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJSNIMlAAoJEPIBzxrnTA33aoUQAKOPjZ/d/8sT85V+wzkIiaza iq+a0kouwiGhOCZtsKCVh72exQfDWGCcsWkRC5LXWCUVvoprxR9cDI4+NbDs7Gn0 FkwRaQXCxbp6t02yey4iZi4aVB37OLyu15xAZg+ZErTP4AbR7+a7FaQ7QN1NeyEl IrE3twXcePn2TAx6hQS1o94KRYBzsr04YFgOiHSRwj00oZYLSAubzvu0ZMPc59lK 7mfQJC49A1RYXpjzdiENbwJpADip6lfFqCR/flPRUsvoBR62jtH8z0mfpz5ZXIsi iyLNkbNJEQUwjgaZKd4bIYk97suoPsVmfKQcsa2YZk3LHm4isi6MZj9g8OHGWGPZ QU/jneofoduk1AIAPa5BBauT8VYCQa+EpmmW4KGy3MmJCWXviOTza68XAKs1nble DgCEDSGV9jh5/yblvuoD0aG91yfjeUWA3R6c9LxNZUOLoA90AJAknueilLqkiIJf AVJo6tQtGnBi6fqUNSnpEzw57lSQ0W4C2hSUViMHVlIqWMkE4J0GRAWz6t7Yc78B ++s2AT+HG87tqRI1Uh4RHKYbMCeEDlQb2D0dLhvLLjZC2jNx9NfKg7UajvQC6rb+ pRwDYybwzR/nMuaLGfufEM+4h5plXNhUDFAAW6BQO2EQm4subdJ0aNOjYVUjd44j EWnGqqBDcCkjECd0deDV =rVR/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
