Re: [PATCH] gitk: restore wm state to normal before saving geometry information

Alexey Borzenkov [off-list ref] writes:

gitk now includes patches for saving and restoring wm state, however
because it saves wm geometry when window can still be maximized the
maximize/restore button becomes useless after restarting gitk (you
will get a huge displaced window if you try to restore it). This
patch fixes this issue by storing window geometry in normal state.

I tried this patch on windows and I find that it causes the columns in
the top view to creep each time you restart the application. This is I
think due to the way this patch sets the state to normal before
recording all the settings.

I will post an alternative patch that records the normal geometry
whenever it changes instead which seems to work better for me.
