it works in all other WM, MATE, Gnome, xfce, but not i3..

it never went full-screen until I ran i3. Even though I brought it out
of full-screen before I closed I3, when I ran thunderbird again in
gnome, it ran full-screen with no way to close it. I never had a window
before that didn't have the X box to close the window before I ran i3.
