Quoth Doug Torrance,
This patch changes the behavior by clearing the maximization flag when
a
maximized window is moved. Then, when a window is maximized and then
moved, it
can be maximized again without issues.
[The old way] is explicitly done like that so you can move a maximised
window around without losing the ability to restore its old size. Under
the old(er) behaviour, which this patch would now restore, moving a
maximised window even one pixel in any one direction was enough to cause
wmaker to forget the original dimensions and make restoring to them
impossible.
I imagine that most people would ask "but why would you want to do
that?" in response to the idea of moving a fully-maximised window around
but consider that a Maximusized, half- or corner-maximised window is
also "maximised" as far as wmaker is concerned, and moving them is more
intuitively reasonable.
In fact I fairly often find myself moving "really" maximised windows
about as well. As an example, a particularly naughty website doesn't
quite render in my (small) Firefox window. Maximise Firefox. Now I can
see the content but I can't see the email underneath where a colleague
was asking me to look at the page. Move Firefox about. Now I can see.
Now I've finished. Hit the shortcut key and Firefox bounces back to the
position and size it was before.
On balance I found it less annoying and illogical to have moveable
maximised windows than to have windows which could be maximimised and
never restored.
