I don't think this statement is correct. Applications opened up for the first time don't start maximized. I just tested this on F17 x86_64 with an app I've never used before and the window opened as a normal size. If I understand Ray properly, this behavior happens if the earlier state of the window (or whatever size it starts with by default) was close to maximized. To test that, I just opened up the same app, increased its window size to very large (but not maximized), and closed it. When I opened it again, it started maximized. -- Paul W.
