I have a vertical panel. When I maximise emacs (using the button in the top-right), it doesn't behave like a maximised window, instead it behaves as if the window has been resized to fill the screen (somewhat) Some of the behaviour witnessed: * It is possible to move the window around like a normal window. Other windows can act like this, but have a little resistance to moving them. Emacs doesn't. * Sometimes, it seems the window misjudges the size of the desktop and position of the toolbar. This normally results in the window having a small gap at the bottom of the screen, showing the background and some of the window getting hidden behind the panel * When minimising and returning (or switching virtual desktop [2]), the emacs window resizes itself to pretty random sizes. Hope (any of) this is useful. If you need any further info, please let me know and I'll try and help. Thanks Don [1] It's for a good cause, honest.

Hey, if I'm stuck using Windows, I've got to have some UNIX comforts ;)
