Unity default full screen behavior

[msrk]

Every time I open an application, say my web browser or pdf viewer, it opens full screen. I tried reducing the window size and closing the applications hoping Unity would save my preference. It did not. Is there a way to set the default behavior of Unity so that it does not open any applications in full-screen mode?

Thank you.

Yes, open a terminal and enter this code:


sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
ccsm


Near the bottom of the page, uncheck "Grid"

Then open the Ubuntu Unity Plugin under the Desktop heading.

Click on "Experimental" and change the "Automaximize Value" to 100%.

My "Experimental" tab does not have the "Automaximize value" available. Is this only available in 11.10? Is there any other way to turn off automaximization in 11.04?
