It was just that it happens on both Windows and the Mate desktop (under Debian) so I started to think it might be GTK; but perhaps it's just that the designers are copying each other... > > Or is it also maximising on programmatic repositioning?

No, nothing like that, just that you can't just happily drag the window where you want it without it suddenly maximising on you - you do get a little warning admittedly, but it is quite annoying. People probably know how to tell the various window managers to give over, but without the thing having a name it is difficult to tell... sigh!
