[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Patch for staff client window to open other than maximized

[Anoop Atre]

On Windows XP it seems to be

C:\Documents and Settings\LOGIN_NAME\Application
Data\OpenILS\open_ils_staff_client\Profiles\SOME_CHARACTERS\chrome

The Mac client I am using is the SITKA prebuilt one and there the
directory seems to be

~/Library/Application
Support/open_ils_staff_client/Profiles/SOME_CHARACTERS.default/chrome

Thanks for the patch!
