    Thanks. The command succeeds and I can see the state change
reflected in gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.shell.overrides), but
it doesn't affect the resizing behavior. Maybe because there actually is
no GNOME shell in my scenario, just the non-GNOME window manager and the
evince app?

    I would feel like I'm asking in the wrong place and this is really a
more general GNOME question, except that this is the *only* GNOME app
I've tried running that auto-maximizes when dragged near the top border
- which suggests the behavior corresponds to a configuration option
specific to the app itself.
