Metacity doesn't bother to remember that *it* maximized the app (the
app of course has no power to do so), and so happily fullfils a
request from the app to return to its natural size. I forget the
details, but this is a particular behavior of metacity and KDE's
default WM; other WMs do remember that they've maximized the window
and refuse future requests unless they come from the user.
