forcing new/child windows to open maximized

[kimyo]

i'm running mint 15 mate.

i prefer to view pdf's in the document viewer rather than in firefox.

when firefox passes a downloaded pdf to the viewer, it opens in a partial screen.

the window manager doesn't offer any way to force it to be maximized.

this behavior is also present with the 'eye of mate' image viewer. regardless of how i last left it, it will not open maximized.

elsewhere on the web, i found instructions saying to hit alt-f3 or to right-click on the title bar for window settings (debian?). these options aren't present in mint.

any help would be most appreciated, thanks.

I do know about the pdf but with eye of Mate in preferences>plugins> you can select the "Full screen with double click" plugin,that should fix your EOM problem.

thanks for that, it was really beginning to annoy me. kinda like how when you hit pagedown in compact view it only goes down 1/2 a page.

mint is great, but some of the defaults are just weird.
