Exactly, that's it. When people connect to the public server
they resize their window to whatever suits them. This gets
saved back to the (public) database on client exit. The
value is stored for each user for each workplace. However,
since we all connect to the public server with any-doc and
with the "GNUmed Default" workplace we each see the most
recently used window size. Hence the changing size and it
being too big at times and not at others. You should be able
to resize GNUmed to fit your screen when you run the client.

Locally, it doesn't change because it is just you who
connects.
