Annoying emacs resizing bug in F7 and F8.

A few weeks ago I asked if anyone running 64bit F7 with KDE was having
resizing problems with Emacs and several here confirmed the bug.

Today I had a few minutes and so I built both the F7 and F8 src.rpm of
Emacs on a 32 bit FC6 laptop (which was all I have access to today) and
experienced the same problems.  Evidently the move to Emacs-22.1 in F7
has introduced this bug and it has nothing to do with the machine
arch.  That's my guess.

Would two or three of you confirm this for 32-bit F8?  Just fire up
emacs and bink on the maximise button. Then bink it again and see if
Emacs returns to its original size.

I'd like to know the behaviour under both Gnome and KDE.  I only have
KDE where it's broken for me.  Thanks.  I'll add your results to:

<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393441>

and see if I can get some action on this bug.

Thanks in advance!
