Steps to reproduce the issue:

1 - Put unity8 in staged mode
2 - Launch a desktop application like kate or qtcreator

Expected outcome:
The launched application takes up the entire stage area

Actual outcome:
The launched application starts with some windowed size it wanted to have, not filling the entire stage area. As if launched in desktop mode.

Comments:
Leaving desktop mode and going into desktop mode again gets the application to resize all correctly fill the entire stage area.

Going from desktop to staged mode while the desktop application is already running also works fine.
