What I want to do is to indicate that a window should initially be maximised (similar to how one can indicate that it should initially be minimised through WM_HINTS). I haven't seen any other way but to manually set _NET_WM_STATE. But if that's ok then it should solve my problem. > > And BTW the proper mailing list for the WM spec is wm-spec-list > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list > Sorry, I thought that was a GNOME specific list. And since the wm spec had the XDG signature on it I thought this was the correct forum for it. :) Thanks Pierre _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
