Hello Archers,
I'm having a bit of a problem with maximizing apps. Right now, clicking the maximize button will only make the applications grow to part of the screen, instead of all of it. See, a pretty picture:

And that file manager is considered maximized, at least by Openbox.
However, if I drag the apps to the bottom-right corner (beyond the border of fake-maximization), they will maximize completely. So, I don't really know what's happening. I suppose it could be an xorg bug or a bug with the intel driver, because I have an Intel 4500MHD graphics card, so I need the intel driver that's in testing (and thus the xorg-server that's in testing, too). Or maybe it's an Openbox bug~ I dunno.
Uhh, some info:

Thanks in advance.

Try poking around in rc.xml in ~/.config/openbox/ in the margins section - top, bottom, left and right should be set to minimal values, like 0. If yours are wildly out, set them all back to 0.
If you prefer a GUI method, install obconf if it isn't already installed and use its margin configuration section to check/scale back the aforementioned values.

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

All the margins are at 0 (well, except for the bottom, but that's because I keep a panel there).
Now that I think about it ... this problem only started happening once I upgraded to the new intel and xorg packages that are in testing. Using the vesa driver + stable xorg didn't have this problem. I'd be willing to downgrade, but then X crashes when I try to watch fullscreen videos or when starting OpenOffice. : (

I know this post is a little old, but....
since new xorg in extra, with kms enabled, this problem started to happen with me as well....
oddly, if I quit openbox and then come back all is normal....
???

I have this issue with KMS enabled too, all is fine when I disable KMS...
