And then people like me get royally pee-d off!

I HATE HATE HATE screens that only work when maximised. I typically have
a whole bunch of programs running at once, and try and arrange my screen
so that *all* of them are partially visible *all* the time.

Anything that tries to force me to run full-screen generally annoys me
so much that I stop using it.

If it needs that much screen estate, fair enough, but if it doesn't need
it don't use it! Let the USER decide how much screen they want to give
it, don't demand that it be allowed to take the lot!
