Bug Description

XChat remembers the window size and restores is when restarting. However if it was maximized before quitting it restarts at almost full size (see attached screenshot).

[Impact]
When restarting xchat-gnome the background can be seen at the bottom of the window. The user needs to maximize the application each time they start it (if they always use it maximized).

[Test Case]
1. Start xchat-gnome
2. Maximize window
3. Close xchat-gnome
4. Start xchat-gnome
Expected result:
Window is maximized
Observed result:
Window takes up most of the screen but the doesn't extend to the bottom of the screen

[Regression Potential]
Minimally invasive patch, normal risk of causing additional bugs.

Yes, I asked there and the packages in proposed repo was suggested, but I was already using those packages.

the update works fine here, setting verification-done even if it seems to not work for one user, having the issue solved for some without creating a regression is still better than having it working for nobody
