Problem when application maximizes window at startup (related to visual effects)

[mirek-fidler]

When X11 application running in cinnamon performs maximize action at startup by code, using

_NET_WM_STATE

message with

_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ and _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT

it gets "frozen" half-way in weird scale ratio. My hypothesis is that maximizing interrupts "zooming effect" and the scaling factor is left at wrong values. Putting something like "Sleep(2000)" before performing the maximize fixes the problem as zooming animation is done at that point (but that would be a very bad workaround indeed...).

Problem encountered while trying current cinnamon ppa with ubuntu 12.04 with u++ ide.
