[openbox] How to maximize,undecorate window once?

[James Stortz]

Actually... it does! Or it *should*

It has the same effect of renaming.

But it turns out, with midori, as I may have suspected, the issue with it
is it is tied into the loading of the config ("-c [cfg dir]")

If I don't set any cfg it won't set the WM_CLASS, if I do set it, it will
persist from the first instance.

So, I'd still like a proper solution for consistent practice on openbox.
