Dear All:

The Java GUI program I am working on is a subclass of JFrame. One
thing annoying is that it displays slightly different on Linux and on
Microsoft Operating Systems(PC):

running on PC, the GUI is opened in maximized state by default,
covering the whole desktop and there are three buttons on the right
top corner: Minimize, Restore and Close button

However, running on Linux, the GUI is not in maximized state by
default, covering part of monitor only. And there are only two buttons
at the top right corners: Minimize and Close button

I am curious what causes this problem and how to solve it. Thank you
very much.
