Also upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338073 1. Compile and launch the attached testcase 2. Maximise the window: - metacity 2.8.6-2.8 (the current RHEL4) resizes to the full width and height of the desktop - metacity 2.14.0-1 (current FC5) doesn't resize the window at all and shows it "maximised" - WindowMaker, icewm and Blackbox work as expected (maximised state, 500x500 in size).

Created attachment 127613 [details] metacity log for RHEL4
The RHEL 4 behavior is as it is by design, but the FC5 behavior is pretty clearly a bug.
Reassigning to Fedora to keep track of the upstream bug.
Upstream claims to have fixed this.
