Bug Description

When I have gnome-terminal maximized and detach a tab, it should keep the size information of the original terminal window.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gnome-terminal
2. Open second tab in terminal via File->New Terminal
3. Maximize the window (either drag it to the top of the screen or click the maximize button)
4. Detach one of the tabs (either by dragging it away e.g. to a second monitor or via menu Tabs->Detach Terminal)

Expected result:
The new window should have the size of the original window before it was maximized

What actually happens:
The new window is not in maximized mode, but has the size of the whole screen. You can not resize it by clicking the maximize button in the top bar, only by doing it manually.
