[ubuntu] How do I change the default size of windows that are unmaximized?

[bobsmith2]

When I "unmaximize" windows, they shrink such a tiny amount that I'm forced to manually resize them via dragging the corners, which is a complete pain. How do I change the default size of windows that are unmaximized?

Could someone confirm? Is this just something I will have to tolerate if I use Ubuntu? Or is there a fix? Thanks.

Check http://www.iuselinux.com/2008/09/how...l-size-in.html for a solution...
Works for me.

[binbash]

If you are using compiz, there is a setting for this.

Binbash, where is the setting? I've searched and can't seem to find it.

OK, I'll try asking another way...

When you need to unmaximize a maximized window (Firefox, for example), and you click on the unmaximize button in the upper right, what does the window do? Does it shrink to a reasonably smaller size, or does it shrink by an amount that is so minuscule that the window is still (almost) maximized?

My windows shrink by an amount that is so minuscule that the window is still (almost) maximized. So the ONLY way that I can get my windows to unmaximize is to go to the corner and manually drag the window to make it smaller. Is everyone else forced to do this? If not, how did you fix this?
