[xcrysden] Opening Window Size and turning off the bond sticks

I would say that is a window manager issue (I've noticed different strange
interactions between the Tk (that the xcrysden uses) and various window
managers.

As for the ball sticks, the easiest way to turn them off is in "Lighting
On" mode. Click on the "Logic" radiobutton on the left toolbox (below
Lighting On/Off buttons), and then tick-off the sticks.
