Bug Description

Using the grid plugin to resize a window in the corner, and then maximizing the window will result in the window being maximized in-place, rather than covering the whole screen.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

If you use the shortcuts to place a window in the corners (for example the bottom left corner <Control><Alt>KP1) then some applications like Gnome Terminal get not resized correctly, which results in free spaces left to the workspace edges. (All settings for Gnome Terminal are default).
This happens for Compiz 0.9.9 using Nvidia 313.x drivers.
Most applications like Nautilus work perfect, though.
But for all tested applications one bug is common:
Part 2:
If you place the window in any corner and then press <Control><Alt>KP5 the window does not get placed correctly (the application gets resized correctly but is placed somewhere in between the workspaces. This varies from position to position. It gets distributed to all workspaces symmetric.)

Screenshot 2 and 3 were taken after placing the window in the upper left workspace in the bottom right corner.

This bug consists of two issues:
1. The space issue is only true for specific applications as for the terminal.
2. The maximize issue is true for all applications. It only occurs for snapped windows in corners and semi maximized windows (but here in a from similar to bug 1093767).

In addition, I'm inclined to say that the spacing between the terminal windows here is not a bug.

Terminals set specific size hints so that they aren't resized to exactly fit their contents in character size. If the window can't be allocated to a position that exactly fits those size hints, then we resize it a little smaller. The only case where we don't do that is in the semi-maximize and maximize case, and that's fine.

The maximization bug, however, is.

After maximizing, the window does not get placed correctly in the upper corners by using the shortcut. (e.g. <Control><Alt>KP9).
Everything else is fixed by the fix commited.
