I'm a full-blown maximizer.

If there's a window open..... it better be maximized. I can't stand scrolling.

The only window not maximized are IM windows..... cuz that would be ridiculous

Efficient isn't it? :D

Actually, since I'm using virtual desktops with both Linux and Windows (I use Geoshell instead of the default GUI), all windows are spread evenly over all available space (4 * 1280x1024).

Minimized. I don't need to see a single webpage at 1152x768. :)

I like to keep my TV on in the corner of my screen anyway.

Everything maximized. Just wish there was a keyboard shortcut to maximize all windows. :|

yea, i like my women shapely with a big rack.... oh wait, what were we talking about again? :D

on topic though, i maximize the window, and then minimize it, so that next time i access it, it will be nice and fullscreen

Well, here's the question of the day, how many people use the keyboard shortcuts to minimize and maximize their windows? Mousehuggers need not apply ;)

This mophandle uses the good ole Alt-Space-X/N

I'm not a maximizer, except in some applications like Excel and Visual C. I usually don't minimize either. Depends on what I am doing, really. When I am surfing I keep the windows open so it is easy to Alt-TAB to something that looks productive when I hear someone coming. When I am working I don't care about the windows behind, they can be minimized or maximized, doesn't matter to me. When I walk away from my desk I minimize everything in case someone walks by, that way no incriminating evidence is left on the screen (except auto-refreshing ESPN pages that automatically pop the browser window back up after a refresh).
