Hello,

On the Applications, System Tools menu you should find Configuration 
Editor. In this tool you will find entries for all of the programs on 
your system, and part of the settings you can apply to them there are 
their window sizes, initial positions onscreen, and whether they should 
be opened Maximized or not. Too bad it wasn't that easy in windows... 8-)

If you don't find it there , install the package "gconf-editor" and you 
will have it then.

Later, Ray Parrish
