I also run Emerald, Gnome, Compiz and alse see Emerald crashes.  I don't have
maximized Emacs:es.  But I see that sometimes compiz maximizes windows by
itself when the become "too large" (exactly what that means I don't know).

Do you have other maximized windows that don't cover the entire screen after a
restart?  Window manager decorations is really up to the window manager, Emacs
doesn't do anything about this by itself.
