Bet you Five Euro Havoc Pennington will disagree and that the GIMP should be setting additional hints or suchlike. The ImageMap plugin has the a maximise window decoration but very few other windows do, so even if it is the Window managers fault the GIMP will have some blame to shoulder too. I think there is a distinction between a dialog and a normal window that is not clearly defined somewhere. I'll try and find a solution to this as you clearly dont have a problem with the principle and it would shame to have a useful feature going to waste because users fail to realise it is there. I'll probalby file a bug report to keep track and help me remember. I'll assign it to myself, please dont close it invalid until I can properly verify that the problem is not with the GIMP. - Alan
