Bug Description

Binary package hint: guake

While using Guake I frequently use the shortcut keys to launch Guake and to toggle between maximized and unmaximized (F12 and F11, respectively). Since installing Natty, and using Unity (fresh install), the behavior is odd...

If I open Guake (F12) and then press F11 to toggle fullscreen, it works.
  If I then press F11 again, to go back to unmaximized, it works.
  I can continue pressing F11 repeatedly and it works as expected.
If I press F12 to close Guake, while in maximized mode, that works, but it causes F11 functionality to break.

Broken functionality is like this: After closing Guake from fullscreen, it appears that the height of the UNMAXIMIZED guake window is now the same as the maximized and I cannot use my cursor to reduce it... So, when I press F11, the only apparent change is the bottom border appears or disappears (ie: the terminal height is still the full height of my display). Additionally, if I open Guake preferences dialog, I can see that the main window height is NOT maximized (it's a slider and it is around the middle), but that seems to have no effect on the height of the terminal window when in unmaximized mode.
