From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; N; Linux 2.3.99-pre3 i686; en-US; m14) BuildID: 2000032309 Using the Enlightenment feature that remembers the size of a window between sessions has the effect of locking the size of all Mozilla subwindows to the same value. Subwindows (e.g. preferences or Mail) should keep their original default sizes. Netscape 4.72 does this right. e.g. you can remember separate size and position for browser and mail windows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Linux + Enlightenment WM 2.Size mozilla to full screen, configure e to remember size 3.Open subwindow (e.g. preferences or mail) Actual Results: Subwindow takes size of main window Expected Results: Subwindow should keep its own default unless new size has been "remembered" in e explicitly for that subwindow. enlightemnet dr16

I know you say enlightenment, but is this referring to gnome session management? What are the steps to "configure e to remember size" -- the enlightenment configuration tool that I have does not present that option. Sairuh -- can you answer this?

I believe what E is looking at is the WM class atom. Here's a comparison of 4.x and moz: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "mozilla-bin", "Mozilla-bin" (same for all) WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Netscape" (different for browser vs. mail etc) I think there's a bug somewhere on using different icons for the different window types... looks like another part of the same issue.

->danm/untargetted. Is this a toolkit or an XPApps issue? They appear to have fielded bug 57576, which seems related. Also, is there/should there be a separate bug to have a separate WM_CLASS(string) values for each "application"? That sounds like an accessibility issue, since screen readers need to distinguish window types by a speakable string.
