Reactivate WM role attributes

[Grégory SCHMITT]

Hi Tom,

Would it be possible to uncomment the following two lines?

- src/e2_window.c, l.1342: gtk_window_set_role (GTK_WINDOW (app.main_window), "main");
- src/dialogs/e2_window.c, l.305: gtk_window_set_role (thiswindow, "dialog");

I'm using Openbox as window manager and like to have main windows
maximized upon startup, while keeping dialog boxes at their original size.

Without those lines of code above, Openbox doesn't make any difference
between the main window and a dialog window, therefore maximizing any
dialog window. I know that seems lazy since I just need to maximize the
main window manually, but saving any mouse gesture keeps me away from
the carpal tunnel syndrome :-)

I would second that. It's strange that emel always opens un-maximised
(using Xfce here).

Done.

Any preference for
// gtk_window_set_role (GTK_WINDOW (window), "tabdrop");
in e2_output.c ?

Indeed, I forgot about this one. I don't have much of an opinion on
this one, my concern was about the main window and the dialog boxes,
but I guess it can't hurt to have more control over window management.

Perhaps other users have an opinion on what to do.
