Comment:

 I'm passing this off to datallah to get his input.

 The work around in gtk_blist_configure_cb for gtk bug #169811 doesn't work
 consistently. Sometimes gdk_get_window_state() is telling us the window is
 not maximized during maximization. Other times it tells us the window is
 maximized during a restore.

 Since this doesn't seem to be reliable, we could make the assumption that
 if the buddy list is >90% of the width and height, that the window is
 maximized (and the size/position is not stored). This would be a horrible
 hack, but I can't think of another easy way to fix this.

 Patch is attached if you want to try it out. Feel free to apply if you
 think this is the best way to fix this, or pass it back to me to apply if
 you don't want your name attached to such an ugly hack. :-)
