Having said all that, I don't understand why the Theme Preferences window is not a dialog and is resizable, but doesn't become maximizable automatically. That looks like too much flexibility in Metacity.
There's code in metacity that turns off the maximization ability for any window not of META_WINDOW_NORMAL type (e.g. dialogs). I don't know why the code does that; is it in the HIG? Resizing is only turned off if the application author sets minimum and maximum size hints and makes them the same (well, okay, we also turn it off for the nautilus desktop window, docks like the panels, splashscreens, and fullscreen windows). That seems to make sense to me, though this code also predates my time. _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
