Hi Ajay, I am not a expert, but I think that when you specify .maximize, any default window sizes that have been set will be overridden. Then you leave the window to the composite window manager (compiz, metacity, unity, etc) to handle maximize/unmaximize/resize, etc. When using .unmaximize(), the window will shrink to the size of the child content or to any size specified. You can get some useful trace info with window-state-event or configure-event event. Also could be useful ensure the resizable status with .set_resizable(True) and I recomend migrate your code to PyGObject (For GTK 3+) https://live.gnome.org/PyGObject So I think that you cannot maximize and after resize without user action from composite window manager. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me could give you more info. Regards
