Thanks for the response it gave me an idea that works.  Seems if I 
alt-F5 to unmaxize the app's screen, then make it somewhat smaller and 
then normally exit the app, the next time it is auto started when I 
logon to G3 shell, it is NOT maximized.

I see that with the current version of gnome shell, the idea is that an 
app should take up the entire screen when it is opened.  Hopefully that 
will change sometime with the addition of a user parameter to change the 
behavior.
