Bug Description

This sounds a lot like bug 772972, but I'm seeing it in saucy.

If you maximize a gnome-temrinal and then un-maximize it, it will shrink by a full column and row.

 * run 'gnome-terminal'
 * click the maximize button (or keybinding 'maximize')
 * click the unmaximize button (or keybinding 'unmaximize')
 * notice that window has shrunk (if you do it repeatedly you'll end up with a very small window).

This seems to have regressed somewhat recently in saucy for me, but I"m not too sure to be honest.

It's not just gnome-terminal; xterm, urxvt, pterm (putty) also shrink.
