Thanks for reporting this problem and the testcase.

I've added a patch improves the window hint conversion in multiwindow mode so
that the hint which gtk_window_maximize() sets is now recognized as maximizing
the window.

I've uploaded a snapshot at [1]. Perhaps you could try that and see if it
improves things for you?

(This is a x86 binary. if you need an x64 binary, please let me know and I'll
generate one)

This might be responsible for some of the problems listed there, but I think
there is still something not quite right about the way a maximized emacs
window is treated, so more work is needed.
