I have done a fresh install of 11.10 64 bit, everything is fine bar a little detail: whenever I start my mail client (claws mail 3.7.9, in case this is relevant) the window is minimised [so I have to press the Super key to go to overview mode and then click on the mail client window to make it appear].

How do I tell the gnome-shell to open a given program with its window at normal size?

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

OP are you still looking for an answer? If so, you may need to repost your question as this is flagged for closure. Regards, – Ringtail Mar 30 '12 at 4:24
@BlueXrider - Yes, I am still looking for an answer, but I don't understand why should I repost the question, on SE sites reposting is considered bad practise... is there a specific policy on AU? – mac Mar 30 '12 at 9:27
locate claws-mail.desktop (in ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications) and post its content here. – jasmines May 18 '12 at 13:03
@jasmines - With the upgrade to pangolin the problem solved itself. I would be interested in a general answer though, if there's any! :) – mac May 18 '12 at 18:29
