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

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley]

Anoop:
	Thanks!  That ought to help folks, I think.

Jason:
	That would be indeed be good.  I suspect the right answer involves the 
persist attribute of the window element somehow, but at the moment I 
don't quite seem able to get that right (tried things like 
persist="width height screenX screenY" without success, at least on my 
system).

	Anybody have any thoughts there?
