Bug Description

This is hard to describe, but I'll try:

- maximize a window
- let the system go into blank screen
- return to the session
- notice how the maximized window gets resized horizontally until settling down on the maximized state

sometimes the window can even remain unmaximized (horizontally).

If the dock is configured to auto-hide, the window resize doesn't happen, but the dock does flash on top of the window briefly on return from screensaver.

yes, seems to be fixed with that, thanks!

I still see that the icons seem to be appearing from "nowhere" when the screen is redrawn, but that's a minor issue
