Bug description:
  This bug is now just about failing to restore the original window size
  (width is the main problem). The issue with the mouse pointer
  separating from the title bar is bug 201681.

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  In Ubuntu 11.04 when you snapped a window to the left/right screen edges and later removed it, it returned to it's original size.
  In Ubuntu 11.10 it stays in the size it got when it snapped to the left/right screen edges. It should restore to it's original size like it did in Ubuntu 11.04, there is no point in it staying in the size it got when snapped, it's just awkward.

  ---------------------------------

  window management - Restoring a semi-maximised window by dragging the
  title bar downwards restores the window into the wrong shape and
  position

  To Reproduce:
  1. Semi-maximise a window
  2. Try to restore the window by dragging the title bar of the semi-maximised window downwards

  ----What currently incorrectly happens----

  - The window shifts to the restored state but remains the same size
  and shape as when it was semi-maximised.  The window also gets
  disconnected from the pointer and shifts downwards.  See attached
  screencast "semimaximise_restore_issue.ogv" for a demonstration.

  - Note this also happens when a semi-maximised window is restored by
  clicking on the 'restore' window decoration button in the window title
  bar

  ----What should happen----

  - When a window is restored it should return to the exact same size
  and shape as it was before it was semi-maximised or maximised.

  - If a window is restored by dragging the title bar downwards with the
  pointer, after the window snaps out of the maximsed state, the window
  title bar should remain locked to the pointer until the drag is
  released.

  - If a window is restored by clicking the 'restore' window decoration
  or by using a keyboard shortcut, the window should be restored to the
  exact position it was before it was maximised or semi-maximised
