[clue-tech] How can I maximize an application window when launched?

[Brian Gibson]

Devil's Pie worked like a charm. I'll need to dive
into the documentation so I can tweak it slightly
because it maximizes modal windows as well.  Otherwise
it's exactly what I was looking for.

For reference, devilspie should be available in your
package manager.  Main website is here:
http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie.  The
tutorial I used was here:
