"There are literally dozens of window managers that you can use with your favorite desktop environment to get a beautiful and appealing desktop. If you want to fine-tune your window manager, here are two programs that can help you control everything from application window size to pinning an application to all workspaces to fixing a position for your application windows to resizing desktops. One, wmctrl, works with any window managers that adheres to the Extended Window Manager Hints, while Devil's Pie is a window-matching utility, which means it can configure application windows based on defined rules."

Yeah, I was wondering about that one, but I didn't really understand what you meant. Now it's much more clear, and I've been looking through the settings. I don't think it's possible the way it would be with wmctrl, but it might be possible using other methods. Some allow you to ignore requested size so you can force another size from the start. The fullscreen thing itself I love, I have F11 as shortcut for fullscreen for every window - just in the windowmanager.
