You'd have to experiment with whether it keeps the windows their original size, but you can force windows to start in floating mode in .i3/config: https://faq.i3wm.org/question/61/forcing-windows-as-always-floating.1.html A line similar to: for_window [class="anon-whonix:[.]*"] floating enable Should make all windows from the anon-whonix VM float by default, although I haven't tested this.
