Bug Description

I use two monitors (of slightly different resolution), and I noticed that Rhythmbox doesn't behave as expected when trying to maximize in the other window by dragging (using the mouse cursor) the title bar of the app to the top of the other monitor.

Other apps (firefox, nautilus) work fine when I try to do this - if I have them maximized or windowed on one monitor, I can drag the app by its title bar to the top title bar of the other monitor, and the app will resize to take up the whole screen. When I try this with rhythmbox, though, the monitor I'm dragging it to colors in with orange as if it is going to take over that screen, but then it snaps back full size on the original monitor.

I can successfully get it to go the other monitor if I try to do one of those Windows 7-style half-screen snap things by dragging it to the left or right edge of the destination monitor, and then from there I can make the app maximize by hitting the maximize button or dragging the snapped window to the top of the screen.
