I can confirm the bug and it's 100% reproducible.

Here is a workaround: you can use devilspie (with its gui gdevilspie) to setup a rule that unmaximizes each window when starting an application. I tested it with a rule like this: unmaximize each window whose class is not equal to 'dummy'. Using such a rule, each starting application (whose window of course does not belongs to the class 'dummy') is unmaximized at startup and this avoids the issue.

You can set up gdevilspie to start the devilspie program at each session startup. However, beware that the gdevilspie package is buggy and that you'll have to apply a patch I submitted (here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdevilspie/+bug/1161594).

Hope this helps,
RB
