[SOLVED] Cannot reduce window size on Linux

Hi,

yesterday i built Sigil from source on Debian for a Netbook, which had no issues beyond a few "deprecated" and "unused variable".

When starting, the Sigil window was not maximized, but bigger than the screen (1024x600) and resize was grey and unusable.

Here i found the thread Cannot reduce window size on macOS, which pointed me to the section mainwindow, entries maximized and fullscreen in (on this distro) the file
Quote:
~/.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil.ini
.

These were both =false, but there was a line in the same section
Code:
geometry=@ByteArray(\x1\xd9\xd0\xcb\0\x3\0\0\0\0\0\x31\0\0\0\0\0\0\x4\x9a\0\0\x2\xd8\0\0\0\x32\0\0\0\x1c\0\0\x4\x99\0\0\x2\xd7\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x4\0\0\0\0\x32\0\0\0\x1c\0\0\x4\x99\0\0\x2\xd7)
which i removed on a hunch, after copying sigil.ini to a backup.

Sigil started and the problem seemed solved, i can maximize and back, also resize to my heart's content, and the screen size gets respected.

sigil.ini now had, in the mainwindow section, no more geometry or fullscreen lines, though.

Comments? Did i do this right?
