Windows should be sized to the dimensions last used, in most cases. Suggestion: - Open the application. - Check that the window isn't set as "maximized". - Size the window to the dimensions desired. - Close the application. - Restart the application. ...are your windows sized as you want? Another option is to bind a hotkey sequence to the "maximize window vertically" function. In my case, <alt><space> does this (set this through the WPrefs utility). So if I get a small window a quick tap fills my monitor vertically. Very useful. I've also got <alt><F10> set to maximize fully, though that's something used less often. Peace. -- Karsten M.
