Bug#583918: garbage left at bottom of max-height window

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: normal


I have spotted this bug using e17 with nvidia drivers. My fist guess was
that it an bug in enlightenment or my video driver but it turned out
that it is reproducible with gnome using metacity with composite
disabled.

With a setup like this: 
- maximize the terminal window 
- use another window to hover above the maximized windows borders

In other WMs where the bug does not appear like blackblock the window is
not fully maximized. There are no problems with any ARGB capable WMs

A Wild guess is that the terminal relies on getting the size it is
requesting in its "size HINT". But since it is a HINT and no a COMMAND
WMs are free free to respect it
