Disable Auto Window Maximize
Job #1 for me with CentOS 7 is to disable the automatic window maximization.
Some googling found this command:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter auto-maximize false No such schema ‘org.gnome.mutter’
and this:
$ gsettings set orh.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false but that had no visible effect.
I couldn’t find anything under Applications->documentation and I didn’t see anything in the on-line GNOME help manual.
I looked under Applications->System Tools and Applications->Utilities. I found the Tweak Tool but didn’t see anything in there either.
Can someone point me to some documentation on how to do this?
Thanks, Steve

Gnome 3 was released over 3 years ago… a simple web search yields:
# yum install dconf-editor
It’s all in there.

Thanks for the info though. It appears that dconf-editor is just a graphical front end to gsettings. In my original post, I mentioned some of the gsettings commands that I had already tried. I eventually found the right one by searching through one by one – my original comment about the documentation still stands.
For others searching the archives in the future, the command that stopped the awful auto-maximise is:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.classic-overrides edge-tiling false
Intuitively obvious, right?… yeah.
Job #1 – make it less annoying – check. Job #2 – make it less ugly…
