The problem is only happening when the window is maximized to the Left
or Right edge. If you place a window to for example top left, or bottom,
the window is resized correctly after it's snapped away from its
position.

Grid leaves the unmaximation to some other component and that doesn't
restore the width which was changed prior to maximation (my guess is
that it saves the window state after grid has changed the width) . Easy
workaround would be to resize (and reposition, the position is also
wrong if unmaximized via window controls) the window in
GridWindow::stateChangeNotify when window is unmaximized. However this
would complicate things even more as there's now two parts of the code
which handle resizing and repositioning (one for normal restore, another
for restore from maximized state).

While debugging this, I found many other bugs (I'll open separate
reports about those). IMO the window handling parts of the grid plugin
should be completely rewritten instead of relying on ugly hacks to fix
these bugs. Working around them would be hard and it will make make the
code even more complicated than needs to be and thus might cause some
other problems in the future...
