Description
### Bug Summary
I'm using awesomeWM and LMMS is the only application that always starts maximized no matter what, breaking the window manager's desired user behavior.
#### Steps to reproduce
Open LMMS and you will notice it always starts maximized.
#### Expected behavior
Use the last session's window position and maximization state.
#### Actual behavior
LMMS always opens maximized no matter what.
#### Screenshot
How it always looks when it launches:

#### Affected LMMS versions

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the launch behavior on LMMS 1.2.2 with an X11 window manager such as awesomeWM, then trace how the application initializes and restores its window state. Done means LMMS preserves the last window position and maximization state instead of always opening maximized.
