Openbox: maximize windows except dialogs

[decomp]

Hello!

I have configured openbox to maximize all windows except dialog boxes but it maximizes them anyway.

I have edited my openbox rc.xml to maximize all windows like this:

<application class="*">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
</application>
This works fine but it also maximizes dialogs. So I added another rule:

<application type="dialog">
<maximized>no</maximized>
</application>

But the second rule doesn't work. any ideas?

I got these ideas from looking at http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Applications and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94082
I am using openbox inside and lxde session. This is not lubuntu; I installed openbox/lxde from the repos.

use type=normal and then you don't need an exclusion
