Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-02-02 20:50:04 UTC 
dconf-editor should remember its width/height and whether or not it was left maximized, and restore those settings before showing the window. Kinda depends on bug #641292 however.
Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-05-02 19:47:25 UTC 
Nevermind remembering the size/maximization state... what I care about, minimally, is having a default window size that I am not forced to constantly size up.

My two commits here solve this: https://github.com/nekohayo/dconf/commits/usability

They're pretty much one-liners.

Do not worry about the default window size set higher than a netbook's resolution: if the screen does not have enough space, the window manager will constrain the default size to fit the screen.
