Actually, this makes sense. Since the window is >= your screen size,
it is not possible to grant it the requested size *and* have it all
appear on the screen. So, wmii simply shrinks that window so that it
fits inside the screen (window size = screen size).

I've noticed the same behavior you mentioned with Thunderbird and
Firefox. To me, it looks odd when they I run them and they appear
fullscreen, so immediately I send them to the non-floating layer.
Once I am finished, they remember their new size (saved window size
<= smaller screen size) so that when I go to use the bigger screen,
they do not appear fullscreen (saved window size <= bigger screen size).

I rarely use the floating layer. Even for gimp and dia, I use the
non-floating layer; it works quite well (having the tools & drawing
window available side-by-side).
