So before proceeding with this fix I had to delete that folder, with: rm -r .java/.userPrefs/org/apache/pivot/ anyway could be useful to someone, just to remember this trick. Note that on the save maximized flag at exit there could be something other to fix, I have to look better ... was (Author: smartini): Note that in my Linux VM (ubuntu-10.04.x, with latest JDK 6 from Oracle), I had already set (probably from some previous test, I have to look better who if saving here) under Java user preferences ($USER_HOME/.java/.userPrefs/org/apache/pivot/ ) a maximized = true flag, so even when not specifying --maximized=true in command line arguments to my test case I had some wrong behaviour (in the main() inside DesktopApplicationContext, Java preferences are loaded before command line flags).
